I just want to ask you that first of all Perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves is other vehicles just kinda hanging out on the side of me. You'll find people on both sides of the argument about who's at fault for the turtle races we see on the roadway, when it takes them 5 miles to complete the pass. Some say if you don't have the power/speed you shouldn't even attempt it. Others expect the vehicle getting passed to back off the throttle for a few seconds. Personally I do what it takes to avoid having anybody nearby. Today I seen the aftermath of what can happen riding on the side of somebody. Admittedly, I didn't see it happen or if they were having a turtle race but it's a good teaching moment regardless.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
