    dont forget to bring your wiper blade sharpener and spare air for your tires, everyone knows you're suppose to replace the air in your tires every 4,000 miles.

    Had a driver-trainer once tell me how to "use your vehicle to intimidate your way thru traffic".

    - How throwing his cigarette butt into a puddle of fuel will extinguish every time (I passed on the demo) ...

    - How to drive with both feet on the dash, to demonstrate "floating the gears" ...

    - And how to log the "super trucker" way ( months after was suspended from training for having over 200 log violations - with two log books - and 3000 miles per week average).

    He's not with us anymore - out of the industry ... luckily.

    when i was in the air force, i worked in the fuels distribution section. we were in charge of aircraft refueling. all the new guys that come in, we would send them to the front gate to refuel the "static display" f-111 at the front gate. hilarious!!!
