    That must be a heck of a steep, fast grade. It's even posted. I suspect a GPS screw up since he was going through a residential area.

    There is no shortcut for trucks. If you risk it, this will occur..

    I still say it's the watermelons. So many stories lately about cargo damage melons.
    I personally witnessed a guy at our DC being rejected with a load of melons, and another a few blocks away getting towed. His trailer was picked up by someone, but they took his tractor.

    I'm going to start a petition to the FMC that a new endorsement be needed for all CDL holders carring melons.

    The 'M' endorsement.
    I hope I have everyone's support on this.

    That's what I noticed about that guy that I saw getting rejected. I thought F that. One weak box on the bottom and its a huge problem.
