[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1151276, member: 42554"] Plenty of times on I-10 we will get stuck behind "Mexican Mayflowers", usually Toyota pickup trucks piled 13 feet high with all sorts of junk strapped together, towing another Toyota pickup piled high with similar crap. These drivers do 54 at best all the way from California to Mexico or somewhere, driver staring straight ahead, flashers on, not passing, not caring. Usually they travel in groups of 3. You get stuck behind one of those on (mostly) 2 lane I-10 and you aren't going to be able to pass for more than 45-50 minutes unless you want to risk trying to cut into the line of cars to your left doing 75-85 mph. We can't accelerate from 55-68 to pass all that quickly so you need a good 2 or 3 tractor trailer lengths to pull out safely unless one of our brothers lets us in (and even then you better watch out for the Prius that is trying to cut through). It's a whole different world driving a tractor trailer vs. your package car or personal car. So much more going on. [/QUOTE]
