    Um, well, see, it's like this......
    It wasn’t my fault, really. The barge slammed on it's brakes and I slid forward. Honest

    Some of the larger outfits that run the longer ferry’s have 2 drivers one on the island and one on the mainland...and they just send the rig back and forth.

    Must be fake.

    I don’t see a Swift logo. I thought they had the main maritime truck fleet.

    Depends on the conditions. I got transferred on barge on Shoal Lake that was same length as truck and trailer. Chalks? Hell no! Makes for interesting ride in rough water
    During winter I could drive across the lake

    I think when he gets to the maintenance shop he can tell them to go ahead and skip the radiator flush.
