    Is this a convoy to help aid Katrina Victims?

    It should have been the convoy evacuating the people. Shame.

    It's not a convoy, its one truck at the front pulling all those trailers.

    This truck must get bad mpg and must be ##### to back up. i can only imagine the requirements needed to drive her and can only imagine what a greenhorn would do to her on the first trip out.
