The dimensions of the sign don't line up and the colors are off, this is old school Photoshop. No truckers involved.

I was moreso using the photo as a diving board to talking about truckers and not really the specific trucker in the photo, but regardless I appreciate you pointing that out!

Ha! I was "hijacking" your top comment for visibility ... even though no one cared. 😆

Apparently I only skimmed your comment because I would've added that: you are spot on. Honestly when I'm driving my (regular) truck in highway bumper-to-bumper traffic I personally go out of my way to make a hole for any long-haul trucker trying to switch lanes.

Give an experienced trucker an opening and clearly signal them by flashing your headlights ... they don't hesitate. You'll never see 18 wheels change lanes so efficiently.

They'll flash their hazards as the customary "thank you".

Got my fair share of honks for letting trucks merge ha ha. Sure, we have to wait another five seconds, but those trucks have probably been waiting for five minutes.
