    There are alot of people who can't pass a drug test. Even existing drivers. If they get a surprise drug test. They fail.

    I've seen a few youtube's with Scandia tractors. They can do an awfully good job of maneuvering in tight places. I don't think some of the things they do, can be done with our typical OTR truck. Also look at her 5th wheel and how her trailer is set. It's all set good for tight turning.

    I mean there is some of those type of roads out in oregon and montana and idaho, how much worse could it be than some of the donkey trails out there. Us93 idaho between salmon and north fork comes to mind , switchback after switch back 25 mph turns and dropping 7 percent grade and climbing. It is even squiggly on the rand mcnally atlas so u know its really winedy , I wonder how bad wy28 is , it looks straight onthe map

    If you ever decide to try 85 up from Torrington, through Lusk, and Newcastle. There are a couple spots that are famous even amongst local drivers. They can get bad when the rest of Wyoming is ok. Trust me... I know...
