    Or the chapter on how to deploy and use a tow hook with that tractor being right handy for a pull out.

    I just saw this Polar Bear adoption commercial.

    I was thinking.

    Perhaps we could start a new driver / trainee adoption thing here on TTR.

    ..I am 36120 full of fuel/def with a LS dryvan.
    Truck only has 2 135 gallon tanks too.
    Cummins engine is a wee bit on the heavy side.

    I was going to say.

    Those tractors are getting right obese arent they? Take say a 2001 century with fuel full and a dane 53 and just about 49000 in the box some times. But not always. Not usually.

    Medicines don't weigh anything with the singular exception of 9-11 when they cubed us out for NYC.

    No. No. No.

    Like on TV. You get a picture of the driver. A calendar with pictures of him / her. And a piece of the truck he / she has run into.
