    He was towards the end of the decline clocking traffic from the runaway ramp. Pulled me over and then did an inspection.

    Appreciate the info. Sounds coppish for these days. Funny.. Had it happened to me and Frank. he would have played hell stopping us for about 5 mile on down level at the river, pulling on slack adjusters. Guess he is like the one who sits on I65 south, below the first pull north of Nashville. Fresh meat falling down in his lap.
     
    Peace_Maker and Bud A. Thank this.

    Cool. Thanks for your service. I helped design and build LAVs/Strykers for 17 years.
     
    Oxbow and Peace_Maker Thank this.

    Monteagle is little more than a speed bump, it's just traveled by millions and millions of drivers so millions of bad drivers have horror stories about barely surviving it. If they wanted to make it safer they would put cellphone jammers along the road.

    Dies anyone ask about psp or CSA on an application? Isn’t the usual questions about convictions? I’d just fill out the apps, don’t volunteer any more than what’s asked.

    When I leased on at Tralo I had to sign off on them checking the Clearinghouse and pulling my PSP. Not sure if everyone does it or not.
