    If a company is petty enough to put getting stuck in the mud on your DAC report then it's time to bail. That's something that can happen to anyone through no fault of there own. Rigs are set up for highway use to maximize fuel efficiency. Not for the slightest amount of mud.

    I got stuck on the side of the road in about an inch of that silt type mud once. Everything was smooth and looked just like the rest of the road. A whole lot of rocking back and forth and a lot of spinning of tires finally got me out. The tanker I was driving was covered in mud. My night driver was not happy

    What is happening in that first picture? Might be an illusion, but it looks like the front of the truck is up in the air!
