    Bold is the key part. And to top off confident you have the knowledge to back it up. And driving a big truck and spending a lot of time on the roads you gain a almost psychic sense about predicting other drivers actions. You learn the signs of when someone is lost, or when they are going to...

    For the most part that's true. I have a flawless driving record in a truck and car for the last 10 years. No tickets, no accidents, no failed inspections, and never been late with the exception of circumstances I couldn't control. BUT there are some bad drivers out there. The new laws although...

    Yeah no wrecks at all is pretty rare. I have been in 3 none my fault (and none in my big truck at all). Rear ended sitting at a stop light, driver not paying attention to a lane ending side swiped me, and a drunk driver ran a red light.Driving is interesting. I have met some phenomenal drivers...

    Hahahah That's exactly the fear I have of them! I always figured my luck that thing would come on while going down the highway and steer me straight into oncoming traffic or something. They have a new "safety feature" on newer big rigs as an option. It's like some cars, but if you have cruise...

    Micro coils and ohms description

    32ga is way way to small of wire for micro coils. Try using 28ga or at biggest 30ga. Or if that's all the wire you have you can do a doubled micro coil. Take about a 8 inch piece of wire fold it in half then wrap the two pieces at the same time (side by side so to speak) that will cut the ohms...

    That's funny! You know I used to think parallel parking was hard. Now I can parallel park a 75' long truck and trailer. I rarely have to do that where I live but it's a valuable skill for anyone who lives in a bigger urban area. Maybe you should tell them to buy a Ford with that parking assist...

    I wish I could say it was easy but the tire tracks from me having to keep readjusting it would give me away! lol And yes if you look at all those tracks those are just from me! lol

    I'm here to help! Lol Nah not home but at least back in easier running mode. That was Chicago causing me all that grief. Chicago is one of the best freight spots in the country but geeze between the insane amounts of traffic, the construction everywhere, and the buildings all being a pain to...

    What a long couple of days. Had a wonderful time trying to squeeze my 53' trailer into a dock designed for 20' pup trailers. And of course it's way to narrow for my big ole truck so I actually had my trailer door rubbing the building to get into the dock. Took me 30 minutes to get into this...

    Tell me about Reo culture

    Great thread to read and i agree with most of it. This place is strange to me as well. I've been on some of my other forums for years and don't have half the post count i have here. Heck reading in REOville is the only reason i joined ecf. It truly is a unique place on the internet where just...

    Help me decide between the VV and the Grand

    Yep that's the one I am talking about. I might give the 17670 a try because even with a shorter run time if I can recharge it it'll be a plus. Thanks for the info. It's def a unique light and I love the modes on it but yeah I have one of their weapon mounted lights with a broken switch...
