Damn. Blowing a steer was one of my worse fears while driving.

I kid. Good job not losing your shit and staying in control. Nobody blames you if you filled your shorts with mud.

Hey Dayze, wanna trade
Just the truck though. Trailer and sprayer are mine. To be fair, that's our spare truck. Our decent truck (still no Pete) is hooked on to the grain trailer for harvest. |

A good way around this is to back your rig under a trailer without hooking to it and not pull the brake. The idle shutdown only works when the parking brake is applied. If you can wedge under a trailer to keep yourself from rolling, you're golden.

Interesting. I never would have thought of this.

Good thing it was a 4 lane divided highway, I used the whole damn road to get that bitch under control. The weight of the liquid had me leaning right and the tractor wanted to go left. Left we went and quickly since I had started my turn going left, them the zylene wanted to shift to the left as the slope of the shoulder was to the left. Braking with a sloped shoulder to the left only made it more difficult to come to a stop. Not knowing the roadway was troubling as well, especially at 2 AM in the morning. Good thing I had a long straight away after the curve, little did I know that both sides of the roadway had a good 30 to 40 ditch awaiting for me land in. Traffic behind me had no clue as to why I went from the RH lane to the far edge on the left shoulder, then back out to the middle of the road before getting it slowed down and under control on the right shoulder. It took ever ounce of strength in my arms and legs that night to be able to walk away from it. I did then and even today consider myself to be a blessed man that my life didn't end up in flames that morning.

You'd drive it. And then you'd hate me forever. It is a POS. We tried to trade it off but they'd only give us 3,000 for it so we had to keep it. I keep hoping the engine will quit so we can junk it. But it is mechanically awesome. It's just that nothing else is. The cab is beyond worthless And so small I look like I'm driving a damn Shriner truck, the ac is an aftermarket mother ****er that blows nowhere but on your triceps of your right arm. That's on top of the fact that it has a whopping 350 HP, no weight and is so ****ing short you feel every bump.

Pretrip was done son, the whole tread peeled off the tire like it was a recap, (of course it wasn't but)
We don't have old dry rotted tires here, Fedex only uses those Michilen XD's and the tread was wonderful on them, just a faulty tire. |
