What is the highest speed you've got your rig up to?

I stated it was 39 months before I was made a TRAINER not that was total time I had on the road. As for some of your other things you go into about training drivers how to run triple didgits never did that and I NEVER FREAKING WOULD. I had a trainee kick it out of gear on Parlee you know tha little mountain leading into SLC. If I was not trained properly by my father both of us would have died that day. We were past the runaway ramp when it happened and he almost lost it going right by the 215 interchange. As to your list of commidities I have some that you do not list and I can not list for simple resons of NATIONAL SECRUITY and that is all I will say. I failed 4 out of 5 trainees that climbed into my truck and flat out told them that they did not have what it took to be a Professianl Truck Driver not a Steering Wheel Holder. For me driving a Semi was a Profession not a job. The reason I am not out there is called EPILEPSY read up on it a nice little conditon. I can not drive and am forced to live off of SS for the rest of my life.

Next you'll be telling us about how the Federal Marshalls stopped DOT from making you go over the scales.

I always crossed any and all open scales. I was a safe driver you are judging me on ONE time when I decedied to let my truck stretch her legs out. In a 6 year stretch how many times total were you given either a logbook ticket or a speeding ticket or placed OOS for either equipment or HOS voilations since REV you are always screaming about saftey.

No I am not - I am judging you on the fact that you felt the need to BRAG about it by posting it here.

Maybe My memory is a bit foggy but I don't remember any runaway ramps on Parley.

Personally I'd rather be trained by somebody who's pushed the machine to its limits at triple digit speeds. It might come in handy when you're bareling down a mountain after the brakes fade.

But I guess if your let your brakes fade on a big mountain you are an unsafe driver

Yes, and if you let your brakes face on a big mountain, you are an idiot as well.

Well **** it then. Lets just do away with all the runaway ramps on the steep mountains. Because if you ever loose control on a mountain you are just unsafe, and as such you should be hurled to your death. We only need safe drivers out there like Rev that never make mistakes

Uh, am i missing something here? Nice icons by the way guys

There is a runaway ramp on Parley 3 miles down goes UPHILL you hit it from the HAMMER lane. By the way how come I can remember where that one is and you can not remember and I never had to use it either.

Yup. Common sense.

Runaway truck ramps are built to save the IDIOTS who don't know how to drive a truck. Suffice to say that your chances of seeing a QUALIFIED driver sitting in a runaway truck ramp are slim to none.

Perhaps you have a good idea, though - eliminate the runaway ramps, and let the folks who can't keep control of their vehicle answer to Darwin's "natural selection".

simple-Until I got smart and decided that the wear and tear on my equipment was worth more than saving a bit of time I started going north through the valley on 84 which reconnects with 15 and runs alongside the River.

Any driver at anytime could have the need for a runaway ramp ever here of a mechincal failure. Yes they are there to catch the IDIOTS who think they can handle anything. Here is a reason that anyone could need one going down say Black Mtn on I-40 in NC all of a sudden you lose your computer there goes the Jakes sorry. You start to ride the brakes Air Compressor explodes no air pressure you are SOL on a bad mountain you have 2 choices 1 kiss you butt goodbye 2 find the next runaway ramp. Rev do not say this could not happen it did to my father who had 3.5 million miles accident free driving in 38 yrs OTR and was my trainer. The reason the Computer failed relay fell out. The air compressor was even easior to see the drive gear broke off. He buried his rig in the ramp up to the top of the drive axles so do not say it is just IDIOTS that hit those ramps.

Perhaps you should get some reading glasses, or perhaps take a remedial course in reading. For glasses, I recommend Lenscrafters, and for reading, I recommend Hooked on Phonics.
