OK you truckers...

[300rag]

somebody want to help iwona drive a 13 speed so see can pass her canadian test?

We don't want her. She's all yours.

 

[commando1]

Oh... I'm envious alright.

She's a sexy girl, big up front, skinny waist and nice rear.

You were born to be midwest driver in the 80's.
Too bad you missed it.

That truck was not even close to being legal till Lizzy Dole had her way with the trucking industry.

She single handedly ruined trucking more than anybody outside of Robert and Ted Kennedy.

But I'm confused by your statement. You wrote it in a way that says Liz made that truck legal. Huh?

COMMAS? lol

 

[70bigblockdodge]

When she deregulated the trucking industry it left length laws up to local and state jurisdiction. So she did make that truck legal to drive, and use.
I've been trying to use more commas properly. It's a good thing I became a trucker instead of a reading/English teacher like my mother, there would be a bunch of kids out there with bad grammar, oh wait there already is.

If I ran Swift, I would want the tiniest lettering possible that would still be legal.

I wonder how long it will be before all the Swift/Knight trucks are branded under one name.

I can't remember the last time I saw a Knight trailer. Seems like years.

That combined outfit is valued at $6B. A lot of units, too - 23,000 tractors, 77,000 trailers, and 28,000 employees. No wonder you see so many screwups, given the size of the fleet.

 

[barnfind]

That means if you have a pulse and a cdl they will hire you

Were they better when it was a White Freightliner?

Before my time.
