When you are driving a truck for a living and you have got a bit of speed
up, around 
80 kph or so, you see a hill ahead of you and you plant the foot to get
you up and 
over the hill, when there is another vehicle ahead of you going slower,
you look to 
see if there is room to pass, if so, then you do and get over the hill
instead of 
being held up behind the slower vehicle, which could hold you back five
minutes in 
your travel times, then for each other slow vehicle, add another five
minutes and 
there you have , over a time travel of two hours, you are held back maybe
twenty 
mnutes or half an hour, so you go out and pass the slower vehicle because
time is 
money and you don't get paid by time, you get paid for the trip.
The average car driver is usually on the way home as to the times you are
talking 
about, so they have made their money for the day while the truck driver is
still 
working

Are you going to try and tell me tat there are no rogue operators in the
hotel 
industry, the building industry or the insurance business or any other
business?

I think it is about time that the truck driver was given a break from all
this 
negative feedback caused by a few "cowboys".
