    Youre re right about the back ground. I have somthing on my juvenile record, and because I live in MA I can't Legally get a License to Carry pistol permit. What's funny is, I'm approved through FBI, TSA, and got the fingure prints done just have to get the endorsement and I can haul Hazmat Fuel chemicals ect ect. Funny how that works.

    Who told you that? I doubt they suit it up like they do to the president limo.

    I have a rule. If it blows up or breaths I don't haul it.

    It only feels odd if the tanks don't have baffles.

    If it blows up, sloshes, causes cooties or other discomforts I won't drag it.

    I like no touch freight it walks, runs, or jumps on or off the trailer. The only 2 things I refuse to haul is lama's and Emu's. Lama's are fragile and Emu's are bad when pissed off.

    I'm not a trucker yet..but the other night i was driving home late (1am) and i saw A LOT of tankers being hauled.

    So...i guess my point is...."it looks like a lot of night driving...am i correct?"
