    Lose the fear of the unknown. Those who hang on it get institutionalized in Springfield soon enough behind three sets of manned power doors.

    Not as big as chicago roosevelt loop south markets. The last one I encountered was about 3 foot body a two tail and pink eyes big as a quarter evaluating me for food content. If I had my colt I would have so shot the #### thing on sight.

    That was a great movie btw, if you've never heard of it. It was actually pretty serious. Rent it, or it comes on TCM sometimes. About 2 brothers, Humphrey Bogart and George Raft, that start a trucking co. in the 30's. Even though, it was 40 years before I started, a lot of the stuff was still true when I started in the 70's.

    If you didn't look in the mirror you wouldn't even know they were back there.
    Swing for turns is less. Backing is out so don't get stuck head first in a hole. You get to take breaks in the fuel lane.
    As far as what might go wrong, don't drive like fed ex and you'll never find out.
    Breaking sets for single trailer delivery at small receivers is a hassle.
