    That's really no excuse for bad driving. Just takes one mistake to end your career.

    Double the exp. Could it be because they usually pull doubles?

    I believe the star of at least a few of those videos is a Russian driver they nicknamed "The Bulldozer". Gawd, sometimes it's tempting...

    Never seen a FedEx truck that wasn't trying to be the fastest guy on the interstate. Them and OD are about the worst as far as speed goes.

    If one is driving like a maniac everyday in order to get home and be with family but dies in a fiery crash and never sees family again. Because of it. Isn't that some kind of Canadian Alanis Moreset irony?

    The answer to your question is, it's a barrier to keep water out. Probably a floor load .

    New driver area forum not experienced. The OP might not have a CDL. Or fresh out of school. Not everyone without a CDL knows. I know when I was on the outside looking in I didn’t know or paid close attention just like the general public.
