    I hate cabovers, but I’d say they’d be worth bringing back if it would help weed out some of these so-called “drivers” who are so fat they break out in a sweat just from backing into a dock.

    Yet they can pass a DOT medical exam. We had Armstrong steering in COE. That'll get you good in a short time.
