What a joke. If the other lane is going 65, you expect him to slow down to get out of your way? You're a bit self-centered, me thinks.

The left lane is for passing. Pass or get in the right lane. It’s literally called the passing lane.
And yes, if it’s gonna take you 5 miles to pass, be courteous and let the faster car by. When I’m in a semi and a car takes more than a minute to pass it takes about everything for me not to put them in the median. If you’re gonna pass, pass, if you wanna run next to someone forever, back your cruise off.

Actually, it is called the left lane. But semantics aside. Who is to say he ain't passing?
I'm always amused by road ragers that think I should move over and slow down 10 mph so they don't have to. Not happening.
As a truck driver I'm sure you have pulled out on a slow truck and blocked some guy in a white F150 overtaking you by 10 mph so YOU don't have to slow even one MPH while climbing that long hill at 10 under. Happens every day.
Take a deep breath. You'll get there.

If he is traveling 65 , and the other lane is traveling 65 , he should be in the right lane , and they will both be doing 65 . What is the difference to him ?
Again , read the signs , SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT !
Nope, if there’s a guy flying in the hammer lane and I check my mirror and I see he’s gonna catch me before I can get around I back off and let him go. Common courtesy.

Then you are the only truck driver that does so on the western half of I-80.

If your not passing get the #*^@#* over. Doesn't matter what the speed limit is. That's what the left lane is for...passing.

I can't understand why all drivers don't do this . I do it , and if everyone did it there would be no traffic . All it takes is one selfish driver to tie the road up and create a traffic jam or backup .

50 cars are going 49 different velocities. Define "slower".

If a car overtakes you from behind , you are going slower and should move over . It's a constant give and take , a beautiful thing when done right . All it takes is one idiot to screw it all up though , like most things .
But I have yet to see a sign where it states: You can go faster in left lane. Isn’t the speed LIMIT the same in both lanes as posted by speed limit?

My speedometer might register different speeds than yours , so don't over think it . Plus , it's none of your business how fast I drive . Just obey the sign you can see , focus on the known , slower traffic keep right .
I get it’s not my business how fast you don’t drive but don’t criticize for the other guy for not doing a damn thing wrong. There’s a limit for a reason. If you’re over that are you not in the wrong?

When I am, in fact, already overtaking a yet slower car? You don't get it. It's not all about you.
In a 65mph zone, the guy raging about me driving 75mph to pass a car going 65mph which is preventing him from going 90mph is telling me to obey the sign. The irony is incredible.

There are none so blind as those that won't see , or some shit like that .
If you're passing a slower car thats fine , but pass it and move to the right , then I'll pass you and move to the right . As I said , it's a give and take , the left lane is for passing , pass and get out of the way . But , don't take five miles to pass .
