    This has to be the longest troll thread that hasn’t been locked.

    Look up the Idaho Offtrack calculator. Do some measurements on your truck and plug them in. See what the results are.

    Does that calculator only apply if you slide your 5th wheel in the state of Idaho?

    You may have spoken too soon, you obviously haven’t read his air leak in the seat thread yet, just sayin!

    Why do you think that my air leak in the seat thread is trolling?

    After a million miles, not only are you not dumping your bags when you drop a trailer, but you also don't know why you "leak air" every time? Give us a break.

    Couple that with the fact it's like your tenth question in a row, and it's starting to feel a little staged at this point.

    Sadly. I don't think he's trolling. Which is truly worse. 7 years and 1 million miles with such lack of basic year one knowledge. Add on top of that. He's training others.

    This perpetuates the steering wheel holder vs professional driver problem. In our industry.

    All of the threads. Would have been valid and understandable "questions from a new driver." But are very concerning from an "experienced driver."

    Just think, the vast majority of drivers in trucks were trained by trainers, who were trained by trainers, who were trained by trainers, ad infinitum... Who are that clueless.

    It's really no wonder things are as bad as they are out here.
