    If a receiver tells you that you can get a truck in there because they do it all the time then you know it really will fit. If you hit something it’s actually their fault and not yours since they said you’d be fine.

    Especially with your wife, although it may be after she falls asleep that you’re able to do it.

    When pulled over always get out of your truck first thing with your hands in your pockets running towards the officer. When he says freeze, don't pay attention it'll be OK.

    Your bed must be tidily made, and you shall carry extra white sheets, with a thread count of at least 200.

    It’s a violation of the rules and regulations if not strictly adhered to.

    And yes, the US Marshalls will be involved in the arrest.

    It’s better to have a replica pistol or realistic looking BB gun drawn, and walk calmly towards them shouting loudly that you’re enjoying their training exercise.

    When another truck tries to pass, always speed up to not let them in front you. You are the main driver on the road, don't let anybody get ahead of your truck.
