    You guys with engineering experience should put that to good use and build a truck that is designed for drivers and mechanics in mind. We all know the engineers that design these current trucks could care less .

    Oh I've been posting on the truckers report for years actually however thanks for the welcome, up until 10 days ago had never driven road trains before takes a bit of getting used to towing 4 trailers the back two are the issue and will kick out if you only turn the steering wheel slightly so if there's something that comes out in front of you like a cow, camel, etc, etc there are only two options [1] Plough on through [2] Pull the trailer brakes on only not the maxi's and that usually pulls the truck backwards. Swerving is not an option and will always end very badly.

    I appreciate that, it was a little wet towards the back of the head, but that was just a tiny oil leak.
