    I wish I was a vet. I'm still a rookie, and will be until the day I retire.

    18 wheel's, steering wheel, fifthwheel, flywheel, one or two more depending on if you have a spare tire rack on the tractor, trailer or both and not to mention if your someone who hauls tires for a living and how many wheel's turning in a driver's head. However that all depend's if one head or both. :biggrin_2559:

    In Oregon in December, guy driving a truck from Texas with that "new CDL" look pointed at my chain rack and asked, "How do you secure your load with those?"
    I drive a reefer.

    I was driving thru Ontario, CA the other day in the next to the right lane when someone over the CB said, "Hey (company name), why don't you move over?!"
    I replied, "I can't"
    "Why not?"
    "I'm out of blinker fluid. Can't get my signals to work so I can move over."
    Long pause...
    "OK. I"ll get up behind you and block so you can get over safely"
    I won't tell you the company he was driving for, however, they get a lot of crap on this forum and in the truck stops.

    Hmmmmmm! I think I know which company you're referring to.....I'm going to their school week after next. But before I go, I need to ask you this, "Did you ever get your blinker fluid reservoir filled?" And, "Do you have one on each side of the engine compartment or do you have a split reservoir?" I need to know in case it comes up on a test!!!:biggrin_2559:
