    I understand that H&R Transport in Alberta have just been installing a 9" steel spike pointing at the driver in the center of the steering wheel!

    That would explain the hurry that H&R @%$#!*# was in the other day.

    A device that "sounds an alarm and alerts a dispatcher..." better known as "The Big Brother 2000".
    That's exactly what this industry needs is cameras in every truck, we will be safer drivers at any cost!

    Wonder if it will alert them when I'm cursing them out and calling them everything but a dispatcher to another driver on the phone?! :biggrin_2559: Oh wait I forgot phones are outlawed in Canada. :biggrin_25520:

    If I've got the "little" woman with me and I'm getting sleepy, all I have to do is mention to her I noticed she stopped dieting.

    Or when I run by myself, I'll crank up the classic live version of Stranglehold by Ted Nugent, and then load Rock Candy by Montrose. Those two songs will guarantee an extra 10 mph. And ####, I wish I had a couple of concealed Hellfires behind my grille, for those morons on Hwy 1 in the mountains of BC that can't seem to find the go peddle.

    I go with cat scratch fever, or any AC/DC to keep me going. As some famous band in the 80's used to say ( can't for the life of me remember who it was though ), turn it up and rip the knob off! :biggrin_255:
