Love-Hate Relationship about Driving Rigs

So after having some time traveling on the road with large moving trucks I had a few observations and reflections...
Most people are on the lookout for monstrous trucks that outweigh them, and make them look like small Chihuahuas in a dog fight. I learned this aspect when learning how to drive the largest truck that is allowable before you get a CDL. My personal vehicle is a Toyota Prius. On long journeys they are great... Mainly for the gas mileage.... I tend not to enjoy spending half my trip occupied at Flying JJ's truck stop. I can bob and weave around traffic and be able to maintain the speed with the current traffic flow.
In a bigger truck this is harder to accomplish. Once trucks are empty they tend to drive worse... The steering is loose.... the trailer can sway.. but you can maintain a higher speed.
In the beginning when I started to learn to drive large trucks I was always checking my mirrors and not looking at the road as I should.. I quickly learned that I should drive my rig as if I am cruising in my Prius... It is no different... Just much larger and heavier.
Here are a few of my travel gripes and woes..

1. Smaller cars tend to think that I can turn on a dime and merge into traffic like them... This is not possible and normally when I merge unto a street I am splitting the lane.. In traveling this is accomplished by making a turn into a busy street when you have proper clearance and riding the center lane.. Vehicles may get annoyed by this but as I am trying to route myself to the directions to my GPS this remains paramount. Drivers don't often consider that if I only have to make a lane change once it is easier on the both of us.

2.  Honking at me when I am fully loaded going around a windy road accomplishes nothing. Yesterday, I had a BMW proceed to pass me at a normal speed on a two lane... No traffic around... No hard feelings.. But then he proceeded to honk after he passed me.. That seems like highly unusual behavior but it happens daily.

3. On my travels I can't climb steep grades in the road at 65.. Most likely if I am at near weight capacity I am pushing it to do twenty miles per hour... Trust me... I have a fully loaded truck... I am scared for dear life to ascent the hill.

So... in conclusion...

That truck driver that you honked at... the one you flipped off... and the one you passed like a Nascar driver.... has much bigger worries than you.
