And quite unnecessary if that guy is hanging out in the left lane. Any time one of them is on an interstate, they effectively change a 3 lane road to two or a two lane road to one, which easily explains I-95 through South Carolina

I-95 through SC is awful. Where I live in central NY I have a choice between I-95 around DC, or I-81 via Roanoke and eventually 77 to Charlotte. Both routes eventually get to 95 in SC. The I-81 route used to be great, but now with all of the trucks it's terrible. One truck will pass another truck up a hill going 1/2mph faster than the truck it's overtaking. I have measured as much as 10 miles of roadway for one truck to pass another, both going less than the speed limit. Then you have a 10 mile train of pi$$ed off impatient drivers trying to get around the trucks before another attempt. It's constant white-knuckle driving.
Other than DC, I prefer I-95 because although you have all the trucks, it's not as hilly and when they pass each other they don't need 10 miles to do it.
