    The thread starter got a ticket for one, and then I stopped at the scale and asked. The officer gave me a copy of the statute. This is Washington State.

    I had a spinner once. She was 5'0" and 92 lbs. And way past 21, so I don't think she was against the law.

    Not unless yer' haulin' the pallets one at a time across the scale. But then I suppose you are going to be naggin' Mr. Haney to do a custom propane flash file so you can strap on your goggles and get 'er done.

    Just think, you'll never run empty. You can tailgate a truck with a roll up door, and snatch a skid off without him even knowing...

    The day I'm tooling along and a Clark forklift blows my doors off, I'm gonna eat those words..... :biggrin_2554:

    Don't listen to the hrtbr8kr cause there is no need to toughen up because they sell the really cool guy driving gloves at the truck stop,

    I wear a pair of Nike football receivers gloves it gives me a firm grip wont give me blisters and in the summer when its hot and my hands start sweating I dont have to rub the sweat onto my pant and look like some of these trucker bums with the dirt line down their legs.

    he said he is getting blisters from the wheel as he put it and you go on about grinding gears and floating gears/exactly why some people just need to read a book and stay off the internet:biggrin_25523:

    I too hated the dirt lines that came from me never washing my hands and rubbing them on my acid wash jeans so I just started driving with these special cooling gloves
