Are semi Truck drivers the scum of the roads?

I run across drivers with Hawkeye vanity plates and "Pickle Smoochers mom" stickers in the same vehicle with some regularity so semis might need to up their game
 
I80 across Cockeye is the worst. You are in the left passing lane and all of a sudden when the trucker is going UPHILL, the decide to try to pass the semi in front of them cutting you off. No way, they don’t see you approaching in their rear view mirror….

At least it’s 3 lanes between Omaha and Lincoln.

Aren't they also expanding to 3 lanes between Grand Island and Lincoln?

I hope not. Western Nebraska starts when I-80 goes to 2 lanes so if they expand to 3 between Lincoln and Grand Island I'd no longer be a western Nebraskan!

They are expanding to 3 lanes out to GI, but being 56 y/o, I may be dead before it's completed.

They just started the 1st 7.5 mile stretch west of Lincoln.

NDOT job bids to expand I-80 from west 56th in Lincoln for about 7-8 miles west on Thursday 11/2/23.

Given how long it took them to expand to 3 lanes between Lincoln and Omaha, we may all be dead before it’s done.
 
Yeah, I had a few of those situations coming back from Madison last week. Thought about bumping this thread when I was waiting on them to pass.
