    I like this Brazilian lady trucker... Her name is Sheila... it's written on top of the truck. She bought her truck from her former company and has a YouTube channel with millions of followers... Not many lady truck drivers in Brasil... She is one of the best.. not only great driver but also very friendly, very nice, kind and humble... and beautiful...
    In this video, the customer challenged her to do the maneuver to his dock but she did it... and did it very well with no pull ups... like the real pro that she is... :yes2557:



    That looks like some of the places my former company used to send the drivers to... :biggrin_1square1:

    But it does not say how many of those 8k were test conducted on people actually currently employed as drivers... Or if they were simply failed pre employment drug screenings.

    @D.Tibbitt or anyone else interested...

    Last week I mentioned highway WY28 (goes from Kemmerer to Lander) as a possible way to shave a couple hundred miles off that detour... But I didn't know what that road was like. Well I asked a DOT officer about it in Kemmerer, WT today. It is a legal truck route, known as South Pass. Very popular in the winter, more so when 80 is shut down. He said it has several very steep, curvy grades and often has chain restrictions in the winter. He advised that it is not for the "faint of heart" and that he would not recommend a drivers first trip over it be in the winter or in the dark. Best to try it once in summer time day light first... Then decide if one wants to try it in the winter.

    Just figured I'd let know what I found out for future knowledge... I plan to try it this summer to see for myself.
