    I once made the mistake of hitting Ohio River in the South and then rolling dead north up over each ridge. Every stop sign was a vertical see the sky scenario dragging that trailer up and over.

    That poor tractor required a complete coolant replacement and several other related work the following day.

    Never again.

    Just read today how many dairy farmer's far dumping their milk because there's no demand from restaurants and the like. This sucks.
