    I thought it would be interesting to see what trucks you see on the roadside broken down. You can identify with a R for reflector after the name if you wish (A for sure breakdown) or 4 for flashers. I wouldn't put any with tire problems. So in the last two days I have seen:

    It could be anyone at any time.

    Brands don't matter. Ive broken down twice in Valley Forge PA the second and third (And last time) I visited there. Cost me a day and appt delivery both times over minor stuff that threw the computer into bricking or faults. (Loss of coolant once and loss of oil second which is interesting because I keep up on that. The then new computer trucks would fault with a quart or two gallon loss whereas old iron might have made it back to the yard to be remedied) The first time I was there as a teen with parents on a historical trip.

    It truly does not matter what company it is. If a truck isn't doing well there you are broken down.

    Yeah, I was down because of a thermostat, but you rarely see is. We have a very good maintenance shop. I was trying to see if there was a consistent amount of one company. I do seen to notice a lot of CRE.

    And then pull back into traffic from a dead stop without attempting to gain any speed first?

    Love the ones that pull off barely outside the fog line and 200' from an off ramp.
