    You have no idea how small. I met a young guy 39 yrs old another O/O who was pulling for us and I worked with his Dad 30 years ago. He was sitting on a milk crate between the seats!

    I know that but some of these drivers that get into a higher speed truck don’t get that they need to focus on situational awareness. Sadly, one driver learned that lesson too late. And because of the terrain going thru and around the city Birmingham is one of those cities that you always have to be on your guard as some of the on/off ramps can be very unforgiving.

    So you're saying my adage of DDDS=Don't Do Dumb ####, would apply?
