Why do they keep calling the air lines..."hydrolics"????

 

I'm watching it now too. Very interesting.

 

Yeah, I picked that up too. I kept yelling AIR LINES!!!!!!

 

LOL # hydraulics, not like there's any fluid going through them. But they have to cater to the rest of the brain dead viewing public that hardly know how to put gas in their cars.

 

Probably because someone told them slightly off info. Air is technically a fluid, but the dealing with air in systems is called pnuematics. I guess it depends on which side of the tree you fell out of.

 

I caught this last night on the web. I don't believe I can link ya, but you'll find it at GOOGLE HULU.

 

I liked it, to an extent. I thought they portrayed the woman who went home as a whiner, and the one that was with her in the truck as a backstabber, but she was lucky. If I'd been in the truck with that chick, my butt would've sucked up the passenger seat in fear and I'd likely have tried to snatch her out of that driver's seat to try to regain more control of the vehicle - that would have freaked me out! "Kill us all" would have been nice, compared to what I'd have been saying! LOL

 

I caught it last night. Was nice to see some big trucks in motion while I'm waiting to be picked up by my trainer. I can't get enough of it and anticipating getting out on the road myself in the next few days. Got a good laugh out of the hydraulics part here too. Also the guy, Chris I believe his name was, trying to rip the shifter from the tranny while trying to shift, then the instructor putting him in his place when he got rude with him. Come on now, sleeping during a beautiful once in a lifetime trip while not driving (could have been picking up something from the good driver with him instead of snoozing at least), grinding the hell outta some gears, then undermining and verbally assaulting the professional trying to help you out. Good stuff. Hopefully there will be some more of that show, or anything else with some big rigs.

 

The were giving instructions while they were backing and dropping, I don't know why someone couldn't have just told her to hop back in the truck and back against the king pin, she'd of killed that Chris's guys time.
