Another good example that stopping on the shoulder is a last resort. Not a good place to sleep.

 

I am always amazed at the amount of trucks I see stopped on the side of the road....

Get to a on ramp or something, unless there is no other choice!!!

Stop on the side of the road too read a Qualcom message? your #!####$%% CRAZY....

 

You could get away with it 20 years ago.Way too much traffic now days I see truckers all the time putting out triangles on the shoulder for a flat tire when you can see a exit less than a mile away.Go on up to the exit ramp are even better the get on ramp and then put out the triangles the road service will thank you for it.

 

Ask any old CFI driver about that particular subject. You'll be surprised.
