    If you are thinking about becoming a trucker you should take a look at this video. It shows the pros and cons of trucking in general as well as just an entertaining trip.

    Seriously dude you complain about a water spigot? :smt102 Stress is gonna get you!

    I can't help but mention you going through the Banning scales saying to keep a neutral look. Meanwhile inside they see a driver waving his hands, talking to himself and laughing! :) We better drug test this one! :biggrin_2559:
