Highway Wake-Up Call: Why Merging Safely Matters

Yesterday shook me up big time. I was hauling a fully loaded truck when a car suddenly merged right in front of me without picking up speed. My heart was racing as I slammed on the brakes, praying I could stop in time. It was a scary reminder that trucks need much more space to slow down than most people realize. If you’re merging, please give trucks plenty of room and accelerate to match the flow. It’s not just about courtesy—it’s about everyone’s safety. Have you ever had a close call like this?
