    The Freightliner FLD the CDL school I went to had air powered windows. I loved them, I've never seen a window go up or down so fast in my life lol

    And now you need to be careful NOT to mix the new special LED blinker fluid with standard blinker fluid!

    man what the hell...i'd never run without placards.
    That said, corrosives are allowed on all of the PA turnpike "non-bulk"... People yell at ya on the CB for it though, they dont read the sign just see the pictures of the placards....

    but man what a moron

    ONGB It depends on the year make and model or the vehicle they started making the split resivours on the even years and the odd years gets the single res. which bleeds down much more quickly. Take Care I start School tonight. See you. TD.

    It's all fun to joke about the questions on this board that are asked but it's another thing on what you do when asked the dumb questions. I believe it's our job to enlighten the individual because we are all taught that no question is a dumb question. I'm sorry to use jeep's quote as an example but first maybe he misunderstood the question. What if he wasn't sure where the emergency shut off valves were on the truck and wanted to know if there was a fire? Second, if I was the safety supervisor I'd ask what did you tell that driver. I've been asked many dumb questions over the years and I laugh too but at least I'll show them where to look for the answers. It's a larger safety issue when an experienced driver walks away without giving any guildance.

     
    JustSonny and Big Don Thank this.
