Potholes vs. Heavy braking

[-insert name-]

I think its time we have a discussion about load shifts. What would cause it to shift more? Locking it down or nailing a pothole in the middle of a turn at a Pilot?

[SHC]

Depends on the load and how it's secured. But most likely slamming on the brakes will do more harm that hitting a pot-hole....depending on how big that pothole is

Hit a deep one at a Pilot this morning, "Holy ####, think I lost a drive." Knocked my TV off the shelf, AGAIN.

I agree, but the potholes in AL will knock the Depends off an elderly lady.

We don't call them potholes, we call them Carolina Speedbumps.

Got to love the truckstops with the holes they forgot to put a house over....

I would be more worried about your tv not being secured.

The flying joke near laredo gots some nasty potholes. My first time there was bobtail with my co-driver sleeping in the bunk. Didn't see the hole and got it at a good speed. He got full air off the bunk.

Agreed with the TV, I need to get that cargo strap fixed. If it does break, I can get the same make and model for 50-40 bucks.

But, dang, co-driver got full air? I'll stay out of there....

yeah it's bad because it's right at a seam in the intersection and you can't see it till you're on it so you rip through the intersection to beat the light and WHAMMO big effin hole.
