    That’s something at least. I would argue following and experienced driver on the first trip would be a good idea

    Swerved back toward traffic?? Dude PUT IT IN HE DITCH, HIT A ####ING BRICK WALL, ROLL IT OFF THE MOUNTAIN.... Why would anybody ever steer 80,000 pounds at 90+ mph with no breaks, and aim it at stopped traffic, because ur scared??!! I hope they throw the book at him for that stupidity and all the innocent ppl he killed

    I've seen MANY trucks 15-20yrs old that are in nicer shape and run better than some of these 2 and 3yr old trucks

    I wonder if that statement just changed the prosecution's case from manslaughter to murder.

    Age of the truck has little do with it.

    I’m cheap huh? I’ve spent $20k on it this year alone, keeping it tip top mechanically.

    Which reliable 2014-2019 do I get to choose from after I tow my dangerous piece of junk to the scrap yard?

    My rig is almost 25 years old. DOT Inspection ready at all times.

    Cheap. Really.

    Sorry Blair, this guy claims to looks like Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Carribean. That trumps you in the looks dept, especially that non plastic truck o' yours.

    Save it. This is the guy who can’t figure out what he’s doing to piss everyone else off in traffic, yet he knows what was the cause of this crash.
    That would be like that stupid woman with 17 kids writing a book telling women how to marry a millionaire.
     
    Dan.S, rank, Hammer166 and 6 others Thank this.

    5 years huh? I’ve read some of your posts and thought, “dude, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”. So naturally I remembered your handle. At least your consistent.
