Not that my tanker endorsement means much more than a skateboard license at this point.

Cool so many different experiences, which is great hopefully being able to add mine in soon.

What do you mean by "but at least it has brakes!"?

The tanker as opposed to the skateboard (wheels... mine didn't have brakes, or tread to run over rocks without stopping).

So you're saying you drove a tanker that didn't have brakes. You also drove a tanker that had no tread??

This is the first thing that I actually can comprehend what you're attempting to type but it still makes no sense.

No brakes on a skate board that you jump on and roll down the road or skate park. That is where I THINK he was coming from.

I think he didn't make the connection...... Skateboard = Flatbed

Thanks guys. I guess I didn't get the joke. Not used to someone referring a skateboard to an actual skateboard. Automatically assumed a flatbed shocked.png

Sloshy tanker....or a skateboard.....hand me the straps and tarps, please..... I did flatbed for over 10 years, and the worst I ever got was a broken nail...which for me is bad, since I do really "have "nails...unlike some pink wearing truck driving women I knowrofl-3.gif 'But I'm super safe, always have been. No one hurries me, or makes me tie anything down with less than what I think is safe. I've had em try, and I told em to get their crap off my trailer....I neve wanted to see anyone's frieght fallin' in the ditch...but I also never wanted to see my truck followin' it into the ditch. You will get a ticket for goin' in the ditch...but you will get a HANDFULL of tickets for going in the ditch, and you load doesn't stay on your trailer....

Hahs my nails are beautiful and id cry if one broke! HELL I did when my tractor break chipped the corner off lol

I painted to many houses and got my hands in to much paint thinner...it thins your nails horribly..I'd be afraid to put fake nails on top of what I have left...I'd hate to have to get convicted for cussing a blue streak after I ripped my nail off and bled all over everywhere.....
