    Were it not for the imported drivers (and Swift and Western), tow truck drivers would have a very empty life.
    Rave on, imported (and Swift and Western) drivers. America needs you.

    Seriously. Is that just a level valve adjustment?
    It's a very low trailer.

    We were just talking about cheating the valve to get out of the road. I think it has more to with the approach.

    Why is a 10 year old trailer a bad thing ? I have never run anything newer then that. Except when I was company hand

    Those trailers are low so you have to be careful.

    Reflects a lack of exposure to the set of real world things our folks pointed out to us. Don't know how many times I've shaken my head and murmured to myself "Never driven a grade in a truck before?"

    Worked with a Vietnamese guy way back when, came over as part of the military wind down in the '70s. He would buy my lunch if I drove him to a deli or restaurant. He just wanted me to tell him everything I was seeing/watching as I drove. He was looking to me for situational awareness training. He viewed his dad as not competent to drive a car in the metro area, because the biggest thing pops drove before coming over was a Vespa Scooter. Soon the family started having him give EVERYBODY in the family driving lessons.
