Casual ride over the Mighty Mac

Driving a semi over the Mackinac Bridge, there isn't a lot to do but kick back and enjoy the view. We are limited to 20 mph over the bridge (regular cars can go 45 mph), so enjoy this slower paced ride to take in the view as well.

The constant clicking you hear is my 4-way flashers, and we are required to keep them on the entire length of the bridge. I know, it gets a bit annoying, but it's all part of the trucker experience! At one point you'll hear some CB chatter about a semi that is illegally passing and speeding across the bridge. Since I was hauling a hazmat load, I additionally required an escort across the bridge. When the offending truck came up behind me, my escort moved over to block both lanes and slowed down to additionally enforce the 500 ft minimum following distance between trucks. (They have a lot of truck specific regulations for this bridge). When we got to the end of the bridge, the offending truck tried to jump the gun to speed around us. Again, my escort shut him down right until his own turnout, just to spite the trucker.

If that escort driver happens to see this video, know that you made not only my day putting that driver in his place, but the other truckers witnessing it got a good laugh at his expense too. Keep up the good work!
