    here is another tip i learned
    when passing another truck
    before you pull back in
    without leaning forward
    make sure you can see both headlights of the truck you passed
    then you have adequate space

    We are old school! :biggrin_2559: That is exactly the way we were taught when I was learning to drive. We were also taught to leave x amount of space between you and the vehicle in front of you for every 10mph of speed. Those things are no longer taught ....I know because I picked up a driver's handbook for the stubborn one, hoping it would peak her interest.

    In Friona of course with just an hour left of my 14 they called and said your load is ready. So running at midnight again. 5 hr extra energy drinks. The wind was tough today the only condition I hate everything else you can see.

    If you lease you should be reading a map to make sure you are taking the shortest route available. Saved 70 miles off my deadhead today. Had a week(about a month ago) where I saved 350 miles from their routing solution. It all helps when it is settlement time.

    Krazyhorsechik sometimes sitting is the best option when you get back to driving you will see some super truckers who ended up in the ditch being well super truckers. If you dont feel safe get off the road

    Be safe out there
