    Bumpy ride for sure. Glad you got to enjoy it and pay tribute to your cousin. You're good showing the truck...as long as your ID's aren't exposed. :)

    OLDSKOOLERnWV and Espressolane , Thank You for sharing .....thank you all for sharing. Knowing something like statistics, etc is one thing. Seeing it happen is another. I would think it would make anyone driving anything more cautious.
    Or even afraid to drive. whew.

    OLDSKOOLERnWV Thank you for sharing the pic with your siblings, it is a great photo.
    CDEMARS316 Thank you for sharing , and I am sorry for your loss.

    Old enough to drive trucks through a literal war zone on the other side of the planet but not able to be trained to drive one down the interstate?

    We should be training people to drive better than we do already when they are younger. Making people wait until they are 21 means they have to spend 3 years starting some other career so they never even look into driving. Then we can just continue to import drivers over 21 to continue driving the wrong way down interstates and making U turns across 4 lanes of highway traffic.

    The drivers age has nothing to do with it.

    About 90% of the time I pass an LTL truck driven by "experienced" drivers who are all clearly in their 50s+ there's a cellphone attached to the dash with video playing.

    Let's not even begin to pretend that younger drivers are the only ones who drive impaired or distracted.

    Obviously you favor your dad. I assume your brother went the other way?

    Today made 20 years Mrs. Oldskool and I been hitched up. I ask her when she picked the date why she wanted to get married on the 22nd, her answer was, because surely you won’t forget it the day after your birthday. Dam’d if didn’t forget the card!:confused: She’ll come home from class and find one after I head out to Tennessee here shortly. You’d think I had enough practice after 20 years…:rolleyes:
