    Until you dream that the truck is rolling away and you vault from the bunk, mash the brake pedal and pull frantically at the buttons while screaming.

    Not that has ever happened to me, multiple times, with trainees in the upper bunk . . . .

    Lmao i went thru shreveport last year and it was snow flurries , the amount of people was driving 35 mph with 4 ways on and death grip on the steering wheel, gave me a good laugh. I think it was the first time it had snowed there in like 40 something years.

    You’re surprised?

    It’s a good bet no one you were currently sharing the road with has ever seen snow before, so it’s quite understandable that they all thought they were going to die. ;)

    That is crazy to even think about , atleast they was being careful with it. Unlike when it snows in southern california and they dont know what slowing down means and they turn i5 into a demolition derby and ice skating contest

    You guys talking about folks nervous driving cause they never seen snow....
    Yeah.... let me tell you.... The very first time I drove under snow in my life I was a newbie driving a big truck at night on I-90 WA... with less than 3 months experience... :confused: I was so unfamiliar with that... saw those big thick drops of water becoming thicker and thicker and building snow on the windshield... :biggrin_2554: took me a while to realize that was frickin snow... :biggrin_2555: Saw the ground turning white... couldn't see where the shoulder was... :biggrin_25513: Supertruckers kept blowing my door as they passed me... That was a heck of an experience for this "tropical" girl.... :biggrin_2552:
