    Now the parking brake sets when you open the door or get out of the seat for a reason. Automatic transmission in most trucks so you can play on the phone while you're changing lane. Tiempo han campiado. They have to engineer trucks around morons now

    As I said previously, WE and OTR isn't always the best door to put a foot in. There are other avenues. Many people prefer local.

    Not paying attention and running off the highway or letting a faulty GPS take them down dirt road until it ends and no where to turn around.

    I would almost guarantee, that like most of the bottom feeders, WE has a million miler or 3. Not every arse fits every seat.

    My 2nd trainer at WE was 2 million miles plus, not all with western. He was there because he got drunk in his personal pickup and made an oops. I also heard there’s a guy at WE doing 5000 miles plus weekly as trainer and making 6 figures.
