    My first Christmas at UPS I was freezing my ### off so I was leaving the truck (ancient p800 package car) running while delivering so the heat would stay on....that was my first mistake. I jump out of the driver side.... second mistake...and hit the parking brake lever with my knee while parked on a hill, my helper jumped over and covered the brake lol. This was in West conshohocken PA which is a VERY hilly area so it wouldn't have ended well. Not proud of it but I figured I would put myself out there as having done some dumb ####.

    Steers are normally counted at 12 and tandems at 34. A single axle is 20. Thats why a 10 2 spread is 40...

    Maybe literally. From your posts they sound better than US Foods. Maybe offer to do a story on GSF for that station.

    Our tractors are tandem axle, but our trailers are single axle. 20,000lbs is the rule for a single axle.
