    Truckers see more efficiency with a trailer than a cab, and do better with tandem trailers. They like to draft each other, saves fuel.

    Not just truckers, but regular cars as well. When I'm on the freeway, I get right behind another car so we both can save a little gas. To let them know I'm there, I beep my horn and flash my high beams.

    For some reason, though, everyone I do this to gives me the finger. Some people, I swear.
