    The thread starter got a ticket for one, and then I stopped at the scale and asked. The officer gave me a copy of the statute. This is Washington State.

    I had a spinner once. She was 5'0" and 92 lbs. And way past 21, so I don't think she was against the law.

    Not unless yer' haulin' the pallets one at a time across the scale. But then I suppose you are going to be naggin' Mr. Haney to do a custom propane flash file so you can strap on your goggles and get 'er done.

    Just think, you'll never run empty. You can tailgate a truck with a roll up door, and snatch a skid off without him even knowing...

    The day I'm tooling along and a Clark forklift blows my doors off, I'm gonna eat those words..... :biggrin_2554:

    Don't listen to the hrtbr8kr cause there is no need to toughen up because they sell the really cool guy driving gloves at the truck stop,

    I wear a pair of Nike football receivers gloves it gives me a firm grip wont give me blisters and in the summer when its hot and my hands start sweating I dont have to rub the sweat onto my pant and look like some of these trucker bums with the dirt line down their legs.

    i looked closer at my hands, and i don't think i have any blisters. i just have some cracks in my skin, some vertical lines in my skin. it just looks like the skin is really dry.

    i already have calises

    he said he is getting blisters from the wheel as he put it and you go on about grinding gears and floating gears/exactly why some people just need to read a book and stay off the internet:biggrin_25523:

    I too hated the dirt lines that came from me never washing my hands and rubbing them on my acid wash jeans so I just started driving with these special cooling gloves
