    Give us this day, our daily evil trainer thread.
    And forgive us our logbook infractions,
    As we forgive the mega's in front of us driving at 62,
    And lead us not into temptation,
    But deliver us from The DOT.
    Amen

    Long ago I used to have a stack of 20's in 5's so I can pay the value of the old mirriors on metal brackets that I would crack. That one last spot is the one that will cost more than it's worth.

    I think the last time we got into one last spot was up in Casper, must have been a flying J, on the far end. Well we did the circle at the fuel line and backed all the way to it. There was really no choice but to get it in there because a medical problem was nigh. We got it in there. Curbing and all.

    Back to topic, you were in sleeper. Whoever is in the drivers seat is "It" that kind of goes with being captain of the ship. You are not to worry about your future. The trainer will be in doubt of his because it's preventable.

    I drive 58, even down two lane backroads despite the fact that I'm ungoverned and fuel is cheaper than it used to be. Do you forgive me too or must I go 62 to be blessed by your forgiveness? :p
     
    sealevel and Bakerman Thank this.

    Been to that dump many of times.
    The bigger question is knowing how tight it is
    At that pilot, why weren't you outside the truck
    Spotting him.

    I was.... spotting the trailer, passing trucks and his blindsides. You want me to spot his front too? I thought I didn't need to spot that being its his front he can see it and he's got 3 years versus my half month of exp.
