    True story actually. That guy with the black Pete, who is friends with 1/3 of all drivers, but no one seems to know his name...you know him, the guy that blew his air horn at that moose, well after the moose got done ripping apart his truck, that driver was the one to get the ticket for not having white sheets.
    Funny thing about the guy, he was the rookie team mate in that old JB Hunt truck, asleep in the bunk when the driver set the cruise control and leaned out of the truck to kick his side box closed and fell off and got run over.

    its a true story in the trucking industry until it's busted by Mythbusters.

    You forgot about the time that the guy that had the Black Pete, said he knew a guy that had a sister's husband's brother that drove, that called the Federal Marshall on the State Trooper that him pulled over for doing triple digit's up hill loaded with a 100,000 of steel, and you know it's true because I overheard it sitting at the counter eating dinner at that old truck stop that had that waitress that would take you out back for a wink and a 5.00 bill!

    Combining would eliminate sleeper splits. Or cause a rewrite of that provision.

    That guy that called the Marshall didnt have a load of steel. He had a secret guvment load. The guys in the black SUVs were convoying with him. That HP pulled him over running triple digits, got arrested by the MIB. See, that driver has secret military clearance. Sometimes the VP of the United States has to travel incognito and they will call this driver to run the VP somewhere. Then his truck becomes GroundForce 2. A very dangerous man. He's 55 yrs old and did 3 tours in Viet Nam. He's the guy that renamed the SeaBees the Navy Seals. Carries his sniper rifle in a special compartment in his sleeper. If they call him, he has to go. He's always on call. They gave him a special phone where the battery stays charged for 5 years at a time. Its for official use only.

    Dont ask to see his dog tags...he would have have to kill you, but he's E13.
