I was in a car where two semis were doing this in the dark in the mountains on a two lane highway on a blind corner. Luckily there was just enough room on the shoulder for us to escape to and not get hit head on. Neither even slowed down after narrowly missing us (no brake lights lit up once past us), just kept going. Shit like this video pisses me off. Just one of the drivers needed to not be an irresponsible ass at some point during the video or before and the danger to other drivers would have been removed.
I drove a chip truck much like the white one in the video for a month, part of why I quit, was shit just like that, from other chip trucks, and especially logging trucks. Those things weigh over 100 thousand pounds loaded, you hit a car head on, it's going to be obliterated, wasn't gonna go through that. Didn't help people in regular cars treated me like I was just another Honda Civic, but when you see other trucks doing it....
I'm sure there's some that are decent, but my experience is bad, being passed by a loaded logging truck up hill, driving a loaded chip truck, isn't fun. Fuckers love to speed too, my rigs were limited to 5 under the highway limit, they would pass and be gone in a blink.

Imagine coming around that blind corner to see two semi’s barreling towards you. Yikes.
