    He should be dead if he went over by two minutes!

    I went over by ONE WHOLE FREAKING MINUTE and the DOT sent me to Guantanamo Bay for Interrogation!

    I laugh at these guys. I think this guy was actually sitting on the side of the road with a flat he wasn’t able to fix when he came up with the idea. How impotent a boy is he that he can’t even fix a flat?

    I think about autonomous vehicles a lot. I think about how today, I had a low tire I aired up. I had a door that had almost popped out of the latch when I got to my first stop, so I had to secure it. The airbags were low but I didn’t fool with the leveling rod. You have to beat the tandem pins in to get them to slide on this trailer.

    Sometimes I drive through fields to get on doors. Sometimes I deliver in fields too. Sometimes I park in oncoming traffic to open my doors not by choice. A lot of my turns are done from oncoming lane to oncoming lane. I back into old buildings where I can barely open the door, I use curbs sometimes to help stubborn tandems slide. I beat doors back shut after pulling up ten times to get on level ground. I come within inches of hitting things all the time because my deliveries were for trucks that had 40 foot trailers, not my 53. I pull across 4 lane highways to back onto a door off the road, timing it just right.

    I am very good at what I do, and the risks I take are calculated. Think of Snowman unloading that propane or asphalt, heating up the asphalt tank hose with a torch to get it to bend. CKE and Oldskool chaining up their steel loads, loading your own product like Wore Out and SAR moving the truck back and forth. Loading equipment like Oxbow and JD, multiaxle loads that take planning an preparation like Six and Catalina. There is just so much human interaction involved all day.

    I find it insulting when these clowns reduce trucking to sitting on an open stretch of highway. I could scenario these idiots to death. They sell hype and I hope they go bankrupt. Rant over.

    The 2 on the front are so hard the teeth on the grab never scarred them. Makes it a little tense if one would happen to slip out. I don’t remember what he called that steel it’s made from, but it’s hard as wedding root. These range from 9,500 to 12,000 lbs each.
