People really are polite around those student driver trucks.
And careful.


The trailer body...bent right in the middle. Had tandems all the way back on a 53' trailer.

I always give them extra room.

most local companies require a couple years over the road experience.
anything worth doing is worth overdoing..

That's disturbing.
I've seen drivers bang out from under and back under trailers.
Guess they'll take only so much of that.

After slammin under a trailer rookie drivers will put the tranmission in deep reduction low (or at least low gear on ten speed since they probaly can't drive an 18 speed) and pop the clutch and drag the trailer two or three feet from a dock with the landing gear down and the trailer brakes still applied to make sure the fifth wheel locked on the king pin. Then they cuss the landing gear because its hard to get started, their back is out and now have damaged frieght. Or the load shifted.

I refuse to pinch. I'm just trying to fit into what I wore last year... :(

But then, I suppose it's really not necessary, is it? :twisted:

P.S. I love sarongs!!

Would a silk veil wrapped around my waist count as a sarong? Thats what I did two days last year and it seemed to work even if I pinch three inches. I plan to do it this year too. PS Thats a nice lookin cat
