From this thread to the other thread, you've shown you are a danger on the highway.

 

Right..!! Think we should leave it to that...

How happy are you with your T700..??


Perhaps I should copy this and open a new thread in the Kenworth forum...

 

I have had one since 2011. Not bad. Comfy roomy and doesn't look bad either.

 

You susans that are scared of a stupid blown tire really trip me out. So many of you claiming how something is not safe, or something is illegal... psshhhhhhh, you solar powered steering wheel holders would be fired if you worked for me. So scared of johnny law you forget how to get the job done.

You panzies wouldn't make it a day in my shoes... for example: Just today while I was driving from Corning, CA up to Salem, OR, I was cruising along on I-5 right around Phoenix, OR running about 60 mph when my steering wheel actually came off of the steering shaft, stripping the grooves in the shaft as it did. Think I got all scared and pulled over, and stopped???? Heck no!! But I obviously couldn't just slide the wheel back on and keep steering with it, so I had to improvise: Without even stopping the truck, I reached under my seat really quick and grabbed my vice grips and clamped them on the end of the steering shaft. Steered the rest of the 230 miles with the vice grips.... just threw the steering wheel back in the bunk.

That's what a real driver does, nubs.

joseph1135, the way these guys (new & old) do things out here today, it wouldn't surprise me if he was serious. secondly i wouldn't work for that guy if he had equipment like that.
