    My first class1 job was driving an old-### Freightliner farm tractor. Man that thing was so beat up I was going home in pains I don't want to recall today; left leg from the clutch, and right arm from the shifter. But indeed a great experience since every truck after that one was pretty much easy cake. I learned to float gears real quick let me tell ya, haha.

    Did you seriously make an account just to necro a five month old post, screw up the quote, and then say the same thing twice in a row? Pretty awesome start, driver.
