Is It Just ME, or .....
Is it just me, or have any of you noticed that Wal Mart drivers seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. I used to feel comfortable going into a tight highway turn, or constrution zone with a Wal Mart Driver right next to me, but lately they seem to be getting really wild.
Now, I cringe at the sight of a big white wally world truck anywhere near me. They don't seem to be as courteous as they used to be either. Has anyone else noticed this?

yeah, i couldn't help but notice the same thing on I-75 on friday afternoon, Mr. Wally World driver with 1.5 million miles thought it would be okay to hold everyone up in the middle lane going a whopping 60 mph, had all the room to merge back over to the right but i guess he figured with all those miles behind him, he could do as he pleased, i ended up passing him in the right lane which clearly let him know he was holding up oncoming traffic, and for miles he continued to stay in the center lane with no care in the world. It just burns me up, i don't care if it was Wal-Mart or Swift, all of us out here need to learn how to be courteous, the truck i drive runs 75, but as soon as i make my pass i'm right back in the right lane to allow traffic to continue to move around me. Just me 2 cents.

I was going to ask that same question, Walmart used to have the most courteous and helpful drivers around, seems now that they have more a-holes than good drivers.

Agreed. If you are going slower than the flow of traffic and there is no one merging from the right than you need to move over and let the faster traffic by. Walmart and Fedex seem to be the worst at doing this around the Dfw area.
