Deer Season Again

I hit a baby last year. I saw mom and the fawn starting to jump onto the road to my right. I brakes lightly and thought I was going to miss them. That was until lil bambi slipped and fell, the thump thump as it was passing under the truck had my wife yelling from the bunk "What is that" followed by "That was so gross sounding." Although she did show the dash cam video to everyone she knows. rofl-2.gif

Accident Last Evening

Not a state but Reno NV, has got to have the worst drivers anywhere. In a city with 250,000 population I have never gone through it without seeing at least 2 wrecks. I go through there daily too.

I do this too. I used to sit way up high, but now I sit as low as the seat will go. I sit so low I have a hard time seeing the spot mirrors, and I'm 5'11!

I tried putting the seat all the way down. It didn't work for me. When the seat is all the way down even with the seat all the way back there isn't enough room for my long legs. I am 6'4" it's too bad because I kinda like the low rider position. dancing-dog.gif

Driving on a teammates clock

When I was with my mentor some how I messed up and was using his clock. Don't remember now why or what I did, we noticed it after my shift. Had to call log people and after lectures and such they fixed it. Mentor caught all holy hell for it. Let's just say it was a big no no. Glad we got through it without getting caught.

Winter air

I had a retired couple living next door years ago. Tom was always looking for something to do to get out of the house. One of the things he would do is tell the wife " I have to go put the winter air in the car tires." Of course then there was putting in the summer air too. Well Tom passed away and Nancy thought that she had to do that she went to the shop they used and made them put in the right seasons air. The owner always had his guys drain and refill the tires. I never said anything to her.

Top sleeper while team driving :/

Yeah at swift it was a major no no, I always thought it was illegal altogether. It sure as heck sounds dangerous. Here is a question is it legal to be sleeping in bottom bunk without a net keeping you in there?confused.gif

Switching from Manual to Automactics

Ok got my truck back. Wish I never had that automatic, I kind of liked it. Got used to not shifting, it did lag at times although not that bad. That said I love my truck.
