    A trainer and his new driver were having coffee and the trainer ask the newbie what would be first thing he would do if he lost his brakes on a big hill with his co driver in the sleeper. The newbie said I'd wake him up. The trainer was puzzled and ask why. Newbie said, cause he ain't never going to see a wreck like this one.

    Yea, the real issue is when one of those dusty busses with traveling homeless begging for a free shower parks in truck parking or a pick up. Truck does not mean PICK UP. That's not a truck people!

    Wow. Let's sit on top of a heavily damaged truck and wait for the diesel leak and electrical wiring short to find one another.
