    Yeah I saw one of those this morning, pulling a container. It came out of Chicago, invading the space here, flapping panels in the wind and speeding along at a fast rate of 50 in the left lane trying to pass a Prius.

    Dang.

    Can’t believe it’s coming up on a year, and it’s been a good year.

    So quick question...does almost every trucker gain the “freshman 30?”

    While driving.. I haven't figured that one out. There's been a few times it would have been handy to have that skill.

    One time driving in Southern AZ down near Tombstone I was driving and had to go badly. There wasn't anything for trucks anywhere near as far as I knew. So I found a paved area and pulled over, jumped out and relieved myself. Turned around, and saw that oncoming traffic had a perfect view of me coming around the mountain curve. And it was a busy day too. I was so focused on angling my truck to block same direction traffic view, I forgot about what was coming right at me.

    That's an interesting area to drive through, by the way.

    Did it have the DOT number secured with masking tape?
