    Whats wrong with that?

    This issue is still relevant. Or would making a new thread about a subject already posted about multiple times be better?

    Fun thread. Fun reply, too.

    Anyhow, I pulled flats for over a year and never once pulled a trailer with a rubrail. I would bet that a LOT of drivers don't even know that terminlolgy.

    Flatbeds are no different than any other subspecies, and look at the quality of drivers being pumped out to fill seats. Common sense? Huh? Logic? Whadat?

    I wasn't aware I have to conform to your your rules and regulations when wanting to share my opinion. Apparently you are the Dot officer of the trucker fourms and must say you are great at your job. Not even 12 hours after my post you're there with a useless statement that doesn't benefit anyone, not saying Dot officers would stoop to your level just saying the way you police the forums is an outstanding accomplishment for you. Congratulations!

    I guess it’s a good thing I’m not out here to impress you or anyone else. If it’s fine with DOT, it’s fine by me. 9F21548E-1834-45C6-83C1-7BAC8999E6BA.jpeg 02BB6D54-2381-46DC-96D6-5B51C6A3679C.jpeg C0A97C82-C7B4-48D6-891F-23458851DEA6.jpeg 823914D8-534D-4775-AE1A-42515053A923.jpeg
