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.
