waving that hand

thought I would just wave that hand at all ya'll.

I accidently found this site cuz I was looking for statistics on bobtail stopping distances for a safety message.

and found that info very informing, so thanks.

Got to admit, it seems ya'll been around for awhile, dont know how I missed ya, but I am still using maptuit so, well you can see how I get lost alot.

Anyway just wanted to say hey, and I think that, of what I have read so far, this is a great way for the general public to get a better view at who trucker's really are. just folks like them.

oh my handle is Caveman, or Wacho, or "Dangit JB, git yor butt out of the hammerlane!" < I dont personally answer to that one.

 

Thankyou Aussie Dave, for the welcome there.

I agree with you, some pull up quick and some are really bad. Even if maintain'd and with good brakes, a tractor is designed to stopp with a full load on. Heat and application of air pressure are meant for fully loaded tractor trailer combos

When bobtailing one does not have weight to force down the drives enough really for friction to perform its funtion of grabbing the asphalt

 

Thankyou Lil may, I do appreciate your welcome.

Hope I can fit in, I do have alot more reading to do, more of like getting caught up like when a school kid transfers schools ... well sort of, but the same, ... kindof well

thankyou just the same

 

Well of course it was me .... who do you think put the ###### in JB Hunt, some rookie??

I aint never ... lols



*blast two long blasts on that old horn of mine at Texas - Nana* and I think so that I will so enjoy ya'll forum ... thankyou
