    Disks... Drums... I dont give a ####... You still have to use your brain to drive them... Cause these arent your girlfriends Prius.

    Give me an A model Cat, a set of sticks, tall rubber, and whatever brakes you want...

    Biggest problem in yhe trucking industry today is... STUPID.

    You cant fix stupid... And that is what truck designers and legislators are trying to do... Engineer the trucks to prevent stupid... But it cant be done.

    Only way to fix stupid is to eliminate it... AKA, Dont Hire Stupid to Drive Truck!!!
