Truck drivers hate "four wheelers" because they don't know how to drive.

When they're not in their semi they generally drive a four wheeled vehicle their very own self, presumably being hated on by other truck drivers.

eh, other truck drivers aren't much better. biggest takeaway getting my CDL was realizing just how low the standards are to drive a truck

I've always wanted to drive a semi so this may be good

I used to do fleet management. It's so bad. I never would have believed how many people take clearance signs as suggestions.

And the class D (regular license) drivers test should include a "show me where the truck driver can and can't see you" portion.

Do trucks not have the stickers saying 'if you can't see my mirror I can't see you' on them? I see that all the time.

I haven't read the DOT code in a while, so I genuinely don't recall if they're mandated, but I recall that all my trucks had them.

This is of absolutely no use in preventing people from a close merge on the passenger side where the driver definitely cannot see. Often the driver's first indication that this has occurred is the crunch. I've never seen one of these accidents that wasn't completely avoidable.

Drivers hate everyone else on the road.
