My reaction to some of the comments below. I'm retired, spent over 40 years on the road. Jake brakes- with a good muffler it just purrs a bit, no annoying bark. I often wonder how some of the guys get by with straight pipes. There is a sticker on the door post stating that as built, truck complies with noise limits, & modifying exhaust can bring up to $10,000 fine. How do they get straight pipes past their annual inspection? Lying dispatchers- no load "has" to be delivered at a certain time. P*** Poor Planning on Your Part does not make an Emergency on My Part. My travel time starts when you hand my the paper work, not when you start loading.
Road/weather conditions- When running over the road, carried the required tire chains, but NEVER put them on. If conditions are that bad it is time to park. Running with chains cuts speed, & somebody is going to do something stupid, causing a big wreck. Only rigs that need to run with chains are ambulance, fire fighters/rescue. Will cut this short, Puppy Dog wants to go outside.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
