    Thanks for this link, some very interesting articles.

    As a newbie I've been wondering - is there any kind of publication about semi tractors, like a Motor Trend for big rigs? I've tried to google something up, but must not be using the right keywords or something.

    Chaining up is a reason to leave an employer? I just take it as part of the job running the Rockies.

    Only part of hanging iron that I minded was getting sprayed by passing vehicles. That used to bite.
