    Recluses we have and a couple of other goodies right here in Arkansas. They have a habit of taking up space where no one goes.

    It's satire.
    But it's what they do to people on a daily basis.

    its just dawned on my why you guys use glad hands rather than the quick connect fittings we use.

    those buggers would freeze solid.

    Had one fall off once. Service brakes. Thought it was all over Rover.

    Them 4 brakes on the trailer count for A LOT of stopping power.

    I once blew a steer which promptly took out the service line to the wet air tank.

    Dragging a B-train set at around 55T (metric) from 62 mph with all 6 axles locking up, it didnt slow down near as fast as one would expect.


    Although im sure my foot flat on the power of the Swedish Moose didnt help

    Man the last 2 days had been fun. 3 seperate snow storms . Went into violation on my 14 hour clock yesterday by 10 mins. "But u shouldve trip planned better" . I was on plan D when that plan failed. Ended up parking on an on ramp halfway into the snowbank far enough over where the snow plows could get by . Had no cell service on either phone verizon or tmobile lol . Slept dang good nice and quiet. Was sitting in drivers seat this morning about to push the breaks in and hit the road and snow plow run by me on the ramp. I caught up to him about 15 miles down the highway and he hit me on the cb

    " look who decided to join the party flatbedder, i passed u 3 times last night trying to plow ya in HAHAHA"

    " that was u? woke me up each time u come by , thats what i was thinking, this frickin guy gonna plow me in , oh well f it, dang elogs put me there"

    We was bsing on radio for couple miles then hit some narly ice fog .

    " man this stuff is a ##### i tell ya "

    I couldnt barely see 20ft in front me and then the plow comes by me and blows my frickin doors off!

    " god dang u crazy ####er! "

    "U gotta get one of these plows on ur truck , dont gotta worry about whats in front of u driver HAHAHA"

    He tells me " give it 2 miles u be out of it and hammer down , drive safe , im fixin to head back northbound"

    " ten fo , was nice talkin with ya"



    Been a crazy couple days but plow driver gave me some good laughs, thats what truckin is all about fellas, one them times im glad i had the cb radio on.

    "You should have tripped planned better"

    No Boss, I should never listen to that decorated corporate speech that has no influence on real life problems we solve every day out there.

    Some days Im tempted to try some of what they are smoking when plan E and F fails or introduces a twist.
