    No it's the right answer for truck drives per DOT regs. I spect there will still be a dispute afterwhile

    No, a monster truck would be 8/128

    Because, in order to get bodies into the seats, they have to make it as simple and as close to sitting on your ### all day and doing nothing more as they possibly can (and this isn't a shot at the OP, it's a general observation about the industry as a whole).

    just because they don't know the basic principle on tire tread depth. doesn't make then less any less worthy of being an o/o.

    at least the o/o had the cahoonies to ask.
