    It's really really hard. You should just stop while you still can and forget about driving.

    That pisses me off. When you get in a truck, _ITS YOURS_.

    You dont abuse it anymore then you would abuse your wife.

    Floating gears is not rocket science, If I ever found a driver abusing his rig I'd beat his ### down on the spot. Your truck is your baby, No matter what your boss or dispatch is like its NOT the rigs fualt. You always treat a truck like its your own rig.
