Hear that tire blow on that logging truck? That's why I never waste any time passing a big truck. Especially on the bike. I wait till everyone who's playing follow the leader gets past the truck and then haul ass when the coast is clear.

I just don't understand the dumb****s who go into station-keeping mode next to a big rig. Not only are these assholes blocking the passing lane, but they're gonna be in a world of hurt if anything unexpected happens to the truck.

You only get up to 2 hours of downtime with no power before you freeze the pots and have to dig them, reload and restart. On 150 pots that is about 6 weeks of lost production and about $5M to restart the line.
