    I was wondering about that. I suppose some wimmins are kinda warped so they'd like the kind of arrangement described in the OP... but .. she'd not be anybody *I* would be interested in.

    And isn't Freightlinger coming out with a tractor with the bunking at the front? Put the cab in the back, and it's easier to couple/uncouple.

    The trailer, that is.

    If I ain't mistaken, "elucidate" is
    to make clear by explanation.

    Sounds more like a vocal thang,
    rather than a hands-on, clear explanation.

    Now y'all know why Big trucks don't have windshield rear-view mirrors.
    But if y'all wanna take a (little) peek,
    flip the sun visor down ----- SOMEtimes, there's a vanity mirror on the back-side.

    Also check the ceiling of the bunk area for

    mirrors.
    Y'all NEVER know what's UP there. :smt031:occasion9:

    Reminds me of a guy that was my lead driver back in the early 1970's at my first OTR job...I pulled him out of cathouses in Nevada too many times. I always thought the guy was 'weird' in someway, but couldn't put my finger on it. Finally, after about six months of this crap, I went into my dispatcher and told him "You either put me solo and pay me for two guys, or I am out of here." Dispatcher got me my own truck and I have never driven team again (except with my wife), and wouldn't for any amount of money. About a year later the weird driver who I refused to drive with got arrested in Redding, CA for the rape of a child at some fleabag motel...they sent him over to Vacaville (prison for the criminally insane)...I guess he was weird :yes2557:!

    This is true............
    :yes2557:

    However,

    1. I'm thinkin most of us ladies have pretty good peripheral vision..... well..... at least I know not much goes on within 10 feet around me that I'm not getting at least an intermittent view of...... :biggrin_25522: :biggrin_25524: :biggrin_2559:

    2. As far as gettin a dude to do it...... anywhere....... don't underestimate our powers of persuasion ......... :biggrin_25525:

    I'll have you know that MY lipstick is
    ALWAYS on straight.
    It's my LIPS that aren't straight.

    I use that mirror for a reality check, every now and then --- rather than pinch myself to see if I'm dreamin', ........ or not.

    You see, ......... I bruise easily.
    And bein' a solo driver, folks start wonderin' if I'm beating myself (up).

    They tell me I could be arrested for doin' that ---- and go to jail for spousal-unit abuse, ---- 'cause here in the Land-0-Fruits & Nutz, it's legal to marry yourself. Even if y'all never formally said "I do" to you, ..... and vice-versa, --- if y'all have been hangin' out with you for 7 years -- y'all are common in the eyes of California laws.

    Man-0-MaN!
    You could wind up having the California Courts ORDERING you to pay yourself alamoney --- at least until you re-marry.
    Not sure if y'all can re-marry yourSELF though.
    I'd have to look that up.
    And it's written in a confusing manner.
    And could change at any time if the 9th Circuit gets a hold of it, and reverses the courts decision in y'all's favor.

    They're the experts of understandin' thangs that can't be understood, and totally confusin' the thangs we CAN understand, in a way that we don't want to understand what we don't understand.

    Understand? :biggrin_25523::biggrin_25524::biggrin_25525:
