    Guys go too hard or something. I didn't even come close to hitting the cab. I realized as soon as it was past that I had screwed up.

    Thats one thing I don't do, Slam.

    I tried that with my milk tanker which was a early 60's trailer with a different brake system (No springs)

    bump #### thing took off across the field with me chasing with the bobtail backwards.

    I will never live down the laughing that burst from the crowded office and shop that morning. Humiliating.
