Swift speeding the trucks up!!

LOL, my current trainee came from Swift. What you're getting instead of your current 62mph on the pedal, you're going to have a whopping 63 on the pedal and 65 on cruise.

YOU WON'T NOTICE A DIFFERENCE.

Mine goes faster than that. No need to go into details.

Actually the trucks are currently 60 at the pedal and 62 in cruise.

How To Master Backing Up?

I slid into the last spot at the TA in Nashville around 0100 one morning. Tight as heck. I set up and took a stab at it, I was a little off, pulled forward and made one correction and it slid right in. The next morning both drivers on either side came over and actually congratulated me. Heck I thought everybody else was sleeping. LOL!

How To Master Backing Up?

I thought about this thread the other night when I backed into the only spot left at the TA in Antioch, TN, just south of Nashville. Took me over 5 minutes and about I GOALed about 3-4 times. But I got it in without hitting anything. I've backed into tighter spots with less effort, but the difference here was that I was tired--that always makes things more difficult.

The important part--I didn't hit anything--so it was a success. Remember that when you start learning how to back.

Yeah when you're tired the night vision and depth perception go all wonky n stuff. LOL

Brett, you look like a fairly hairy dude. What brand of nose hair trimmer do you use? This is trucking related because mine recently broke down and if I don't find a decent replacement I'm going to probably get into an accident. I just keep pulling them out by the roots. All the sneezing and watery eyes are quite a distraction. LOL!

Is It Just Bad Luck?

Brake parts cleaner or actual connector cleaner is probably better than starting fluid. Starting fluid is quite flammable after all.
