    Oh and those euro block videos just reinforced that they shouldn't be on the road in this country. No wonder why the big megas that hire them retard the motors.

    To some drivers however, a safe following distance is 3.6 In's off the rear doors.

    It's gonna be weird going out in the big truck. I was operating my class b tank on the hwy at 55 mph. I also operated the school truck at 55 mph while training. I operate safely. A lot of people think I'm crazy for operating that way, but it's kept me safe and ticket and accident free for 10 years.

    I should think it best to put yourself in a lower gear BEFORE heading down a long steep grade, it can be risky waiting till you find yourself going too fast to not be able to downshift.

    It would be nice to end all hatred. Actually I chose that name years ago in all usernames to I remind myself that hating is not a good thing after I read a medical article on how hatred can eat a person up from the inside out and actually make cancer grow.
