    Yet, most steering wheel holders think they are supertruckers.

    Seat warmer, seat cover, steering wheel holder. Someone that will charge out into the hammer lane at 63 mph to pass a 62.9 mph truck. Also someone that won't slow down to let another truck pass going .1 mph faster, but will flash their lights as soon said truck is clear...thinking they are the most curtious driver on the road

    Steering wheel holders generally think they know it all just because they were issued a CDL. If you try to help them or give some friendly advice, the reply is usually "you drive your truck, I'll drive mine", plus some 4 letter words that won't clear the cussing filter on the forum. The standard uniform of the average steering wheel holder usually involves flip-flops or sleep pants as normal everyday attire.

    I thought that was the deffination of a super trucker.Steering wheel holder to me is one that doesn't read signs and hits low bridges,drives on no truck route.Depends on GPS and thinks their company should hold their hand becauser wheel holders can't think for themselves.They don't read signs they enter the car parking lot at shippers and receivers.They don't read maps.I could go on and on .

    If you have no CB radio in your truck... if you park along the curb at a truck stop, even though 30 spots are still open... if you drop a trailer with 2 flat tires, a burned out marker light, and no registration & don't report it... if you keep going 62 mph (or whatever the truck speed is set at) when the speed limit goes down to 55 or you enter a construction or school zone... if you try to pass somebody in a truck going .001 mph faster than yours and cut off a car or big truck cruising by in the hammer lane... if someone else in a truck .001 mph faster than yours wants to pass but you keep that foot on the pedal anyway... if you also keep your foot on the pedal during inclement weather... if you flash your bright headlights at night when someone finishes passing you instead of turning your lights off and back on... if you dress like a slob who shouldn't be in public... or you just have a selfish, disrespectful demeanor to you... you might be a steering wheel holder.

    Steering wheel holder and super trucker are just 2 terms used when one driver wants to criticize, insult or judge another driver for their actions, inactions, faults, selfishness and/or differences compared to themselves.... whom they think are perfect or 'doing things the right way'

    Everybody that drives faster than me is a crazed, dangerous idiot. Everybody that drives slower than me is an unproductive, hazardous moron.
