Hey!

Seriously,dot finds that evidence,its considered medical waste,hazardous material.

The five gallon bucket looks well thought out.

That will teach um to keep putting in round abouts. Hope it was around the TA and pilot,in Arkansas.

Jake brake has a lot to do with gear selection,a truck with powerfull jake,will be able to use a higher gear,and more speed,and be safe. A truck with weak jake,will need to downshift another gear,which means top speed,will be less.

The best area to learn braking skills is Vail Colorado,huge signage warning you to stay in low gear..the best one being the last one,near the bottom. Attention truckers..your not done yet..still more miles at 6% grade,of twisty roads.,,

I can certainly see why most trucks are governed,I was driving through Bozeman Mt on Friday,conditions were snow and ice,temp was 27. Everyone blowing by me,like the roads were dry. A driver lost his life at mm 308. Was the load that important? What happens when doubles,lose traction on ice? I dont want to find out.

When your practicing backing for real,the secret,is knowing when to straighten,your steer tires,thus pivoting the trailer. There is actually a few truck driving sims you can use to practice backing in a virtual world. Helped me out greatly.

Celadon pays 41 cpm to run east coast,out of columbus. Refresher course would be 5 days.Friend of mine averages 2500-3000 k mileage.

Doubles and triples,are usually line haul,and get you home daily,and it pays more but..Im in no hurry to attempt wiggle wagons. Ive seen plenty of fatal wrecks,to realize,money is not my first priority out here.
