Haha, exactly. Complicated math! So I get off and.... thats when Garmin says non hazardous, bridge weight, and low bridge all at same time!

Haha

Good day truckers!

I am driving a Freightliner Cascadia mid height 72" sleeper 2021 with two bunks.

I will be having a student with me on the road and privacy is an issue. I am exploring possibilities to have curtains for top and nottom bunks. This way dressing and personal time can be a nit private.

Does amyone have experience adding curtains? How to mount top bunk curtains?

Appreciate the assistance.

Sincerely,

Yes ladies and gents, it has happened! 4 Wheeler pulled up as I am headed South on the I-77 Virginia, 2nd row seating window rolls down, whole roll of choldren giving me the arm pump.

Could have been any truck they picked, but it was mine! Started out with a toot, but they started screaming come on! Blasted that horn! Children started clapping and shaking their arms in excitement.

Remember when we were the children in in the family truckster headed across the country on vacation and the only A/C was rolling down the window

Another tick off the trucking bucker list!

I can across a CMV photo of three knobs

Tractor brakes Trailer brakes

And Spring release.

Is their an experienced trucker that can shed knowledge on this third knob? Is this from trucks of past? Special application?

Inquiring minds like to know.

I have dabbled in fitting my truck with a cb and antennas when I first started trucking. As company driver, I cant drill through firewall, so cable goes through door to mount...Freightliner 2021 P4 is what I am currently running.

I would like to upgrade now my son is joining trucking, and buy new for both of is.

I hear of bluetooth headset for CB, weather channel, police band. List goes on.

CB are critical when weather is at its worst. Its a safety investment in my opinion.

What cb unit, antennas, and cables would experienced cb truckers recommend?

Thank you in advance!

Thank You Spaceman Spiff, PJ, and PeteB. Great information you guys gave me.

I am in second year of handling chemical unloads, and what I thought was needed or important at the start of my tanker experiences has mellowed out to what do I really need, and as you guys stated, many customers handle the loads themselves.

At the start of this post, I was planning for What-If scenarios that haven't developed.

Thank you everyone for your responses!

I have attempted to use the progressive tri-focals and NO success for me. Eyes did adjust over time, but there are some annoying limitations.

The reading glass range is very narrow indeed, and I find my head having to move left to right just to read a page. (Which is why pop-up books are so much better!)

The Computer screen section has same problem, I have to keep raising and lifting my head to move around the screen. (Make me feel like my own bubble head!)

The long distance part is great, but it's at the top of the glasses, and again, I have to remember to lift head just so to get the accuracy. Considering that almost every single road in America is a constant bouncy house (with exception of Chicago) I can't keep my head steady enough to prevent eye strain. (Now Chicago, I think I figured out the issue. The MASSIVE POT HOLES, I think are where bodies were dumped into the concrete back at the factory, and over time, the bodies decompose in the concrete, and whalla,, MASSIVE POT HOLES! How else can you explain pot holes the size of fat Italians?

To be politically correct for the moderators, please select any mafia origin you like, I just picked Italians.
