Went down it empty, but it was still fun blowing past everyone. Not quite the challenge it would have been with a couple coils on the trailer.

Make sure your trainer shows you how to go down a grade without a jake brake. You'll need to know that.

Sung to "Jingle Bells:"

Dashing down the hill,

Smoking all the way,

What fun it is to laugh and play

At SUICIDE today . . .

I did a lot of that when I was in my first phase of training on a different guys truck. I didn't exactly go down Cabbage, but I put choosing the proper gear and proper braking techniques into practice a lot.

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
