    Apparently it doesn’t matter how new the brakes are, it’s the truck’s age that’s the issue. Might explain you replacing shoes every week.

    Yeah I was told earlier today by the manager at the Richmond Hill TA truckstop that they are gonna put an age restriction on trucks buying their fuel.

    The way he explained it made sense to me..."see, if we dont sell fuel to older trucks, say like 2016 and older, the older trucks will all eventually run out of fuel....therefore eliminating ALL truck related crashes and oil slicks".

    Well I'm on board. I absolutely hate old greasy dirty trucks. I was told this guy was put out of service in his 2000 W900 Kenworth because the hood has asbestos starting to fall out and cause cancer to citizens walking along the interstate. Old POS!

    I just seen on TV that the Denver crash was cause by a professional. The slogan on the back of the bunk said

    "Grey Hats the name, crashing trucks is our game."

    Historical reading of his TTR posts suggests he's 'Professional' at nothing.

    When he got to the bottom safe and sound, cops asked Grey Hat how he made it down....

    He said, cops, when the freightliner pick up tooooo much speed, I just run along beside it an I drug my feet.

    What about troll? Is there certain requirements to become professional at that? Asking for a friend.

    Manslaughter just means your actions caused death of a human, not that you deliberately planned to kill a particular person.
