We have a thing in Texas called the finger lift. Truckers always lift a finger or two to say hi to other truckers. At the quarry it's pretty much universal. Even that hot head driver you don't really like much, you still lift a finger or two and greet him. He'll do the same. And if one of us breaks down, you can bet at least one other driver will stop to help.
But these last few years, things have changed around here. We have minority urban youth drivers in from a big city an hour away. And we have wimmin drivers (but very few at quarries.) Neither group really gets the waving thing. Here in Texas, we're over 40% hispanic but they've been here for many generations and most are Texans in their thinking, and they wave.
I'm just wondering what it's like outside of Texas. Do you wave, and other drivers wave back? Have you noticed that the recent influx of auto trannies, women drivers, and urban drivers who aren't much like us has all affected camaraderie?
