putting his coffee cup down..???

Wait till they require you to run 35 mph on two lane roads !!

 

10 four on that i was about to say i think my right hand is allergic to the steering wheel but loves the shifter. That is what i hated about the auto truck. I could not get used to driving the truck with both hands lol

 

Actually there’s been a few times I’ve left a 24oz soda on my bedside table driven several hundred miles and it never spilled.

Police share heartbreaking handwritten note from truck driver in triple fatal crash
