First time through with a JB Hunt rig (back when they were ALL the same...) I set the sirens off, due solely to snow on my trailer roof. Oh,...
Well.....self respect, maybe????
I used to run Quebec, all_winter_long, too. Up there, you see -40°C a lot, and 5th wheel grease will SOLIDIFY on you. I had an older camionneur I...
Ain't that the truth! When I was working for good ol' John Boy Hunt, I got an O/W from CalTrans when the shipper overloaded my by 5-6k over what...
