I just woke up from a coma. They said I rolled the B-61 and got suffocated by the twin sticks.

    Trucks now have power steering, air conditioning, automatic transmissions (no more duplex or triplex sticks), air ride, gaming modules, tvs, gps. and dash cams. It's a different world out there! You might want to go back to that coma you just woke up from!

    COMPUTERS ! It tells me when I can drive and sleep. They tell me when to turn and how far from pickup or delivery. The also shift the gears for me. Don't worry the computers are your friend !

    Drivers today are superior when it comes to driving ability. They perform the most throrough pre-trips, their trip planning is unmatched. They are on time regardless of circumstances and they all dress professionally.

    Most of them stop to assist other drivers with issues, they all answer the cb radio, they are considerate when it comes to traffic, and they are all in incredible shape. I hope you have what it takes with these improvements.

    it all depends on what year the accident happened.

    BUT I can tell you that you may want to go back into the coma.
