Tractor trailer crash backs up I-80

and what does a super trucker rig look like exactly?...just cuz someone has a good lookin long and low pete or kenworth and automatically theyre a super trucker...im a little lost too.

 

I think she's saying you can buy a truck and chrome it out and customize it. You can even buy a cowboy hat, Wrangler jeans and boots. None of that stuff makes you a better driver. It just makes some of the ones that aren't think they are. Something like that.

 

I like the picture of the guy riding his bike with the deer on his back. that's a good one bumpy....for the truck just release fifth wheel and it goes right into the dump truck...then call it a day!

 

lol that works i guess

 

Most truckers no matter the trailer they''re pulling--bull hauler, dry van, reefer, flat, tanker... have had to adjust their sleeper time to make up for hours lost waiting to get unloaded and/or reloaded in order to deliver "Just In Time" or "Can you do me a favor" loads. In 1995 I went down an embankment with a full load of lumber on the flatbed trailer behind me. I have spent the years since amazed and thankful that both I and my son walked away. If you look closely at that picture, except for divine intervention stopping that trailer those two would not have walked away from that one.

 

what do you mean I cant take my 10 here

 

Here's a whole bunch of statistics from the FMCSA

It appears that the DOT classifies vans, dry and refrigerated, as "van/enclosed box", for the purpose of statistics.

I pull 50/50 dry and refrigerated freight and see absolutely no difference in overall transit times and customer treatment.
