    Yes, air bag that pops out if steeting wheel. (I think most newer trucks have them)
    New volvos have the side airbags.

    That's actually pretty cool. Ive never been in a newer truck. Not really my thing. However, I see nothing wrong with options. If a fella wants something, it's nice to have the option to get it.

    Might make sense now to stay in hotels instead of idling the truck all night.

    going to have a hell of a time trying to control the wheel with an air bag in your face after a blown steer tire sets off the sensor….

    I’m sure that $50 room would be real nice.

    What lanes are you you referring to?I have not seen any rates crashing in the lanes that I run. Now fuel prices are another thing, they are out of control!
