    That stuff definatly makes me a lil nervous. Especially when it was a jb hunt driver that did it to me in alabama a couple days back. I was on the edge of my seat and had the air horn lasso in my hand ready to roll lol

    I have a set for a Century lol. I don't know if they even make them for modern trucks.

    I've seen them for sale here and there still. Usually in service departments.

    I can understand... Ive Sat on the edge of my seat with hand on the Air horn button myself before. Last week I watched a guy try 3 easy spots and abort all 3 to come try the spot beside me that could only be hit from a blind side approach... He was doing just fine but then pulled up and messed it all up before coming back some more... He got 2 seconds of train horns, after which he aborted and left the TS.

    While it is only circumstantial at this time, perhaps the OM had a secret stash of stress relieving items. Clearly you were occupied on some other task than attending to the OMs needs. Since you did not acknowledge the activity, she decided to brain you with it.
