When you want to wash your truck but can't afford soap

Was is it with International drivers turning their trucks into submarines???

 

For the Internationals I have driven in the last decade and a half burial at sea was a more dignified end than they deserved.

 

International drivers don't know they are not equipped with ballast tanks.

Wait a minute, I am driving an International.

I was driving south on I-45 Wednesday night to a delivery in Houston. Was the hardest, continous downpour I had ever driven in.

Didn't encounter any flooding. Learned that seeing a vehicle with its flashers on during a heavy downpour is quite obnoxious. It strains the eyes and makes judging distance between vehicles more difficult.

 

I 100 percent agree with the assessment about driving with flashers during a downpour. I went through a serious downpour going down 45 last Sunday. When it rains that heavy, I'd rather motorists wait the storm out. I have the exact difficulty judging distance between vehicles too.

 

4 way flashers are absolutely useless IMO. Nobody uses them correctly so they mean absolutely nothing.

 

You would think Houston drivers would be better at driving in the rain since it rains so often there. But no, Houston drivers are terrible drivers regardless of the weather.

 

Ha

that driver just ran off the road trying to pass the black pickup on the right .

because none of the other vehicles had and issue with this section of road .

because they were driving on ,,,, the road ..

although driving through water like this is dangerous because a lot of times the water has washed out the pavement or soil underneath the pavement and you can’t see that .

 

Do you carry a flotation vest in your truck?

100 ft of water skiers rope?

Sixty feet of drag chains?
