    I have to share this. Sitting at the Pilot in Toms Brook, VA. Right near the fuel island in the bobtail parking. And this guy ##### up so bad, that it's epic. I don't know how he did it, but it's amazing. He tore off all of his lines, and electric line, plus the electric box on the trailer and wrapped the things around his drives a few times. I felt bad so I helped all I could, I moved his trailer to a parking spot and got some of the lines unwrapped. This is trucking gold though.

    After looking at the pictures and seeing that he has the artic line setup it might not have been his fault. Those arctic lines come in 12', 15' and 20' pre made and a lot of times you have extra length behind the cab. If your spring breaks the whole mess can fall down and get wound up in the drive line. You will figure it out when the brakes lock up on the trailer.

    I'm pretty sure Chantix is on the no no list for drivers? *

    Joe, I quit with Chantix about 7 years ago. Went from 2 packs a day to quit in 10 days and stayed that way for almost 4 years. Then I came back OTR and made it a year before going full ###### and buying a pack. I hate to admit it but quiting smoking was super easy for me with the Chantix. Just be cognizant of the side effects, okay? That stuff really jerks with your brain chemistry. I mean, you may be okay, but I wasn't (and neither was my aunt, sister, or a good friend - all quit btw). It effects people differently and none of my group had the same effects and it may take a while for them to show themselves.

    Good luck man. As long as you have the desire, you can do it easily.

    *I didn't realize it was banned until after I'd used it to quit

    i don't know how it happened, looked like it sucked. He's in a spot now and out of the way of three fuel bays, so I did my good deed for the day.

    It must be One Of Those Weeks. Yesterday, I watched one truck back into another truck. In broad daylight. Truckers really don't like another trucker backing into the truck, ya know...?
