And they can drive 70 kmh ( 43mph ) Yee ha...
Watch the corners though, they are very flat and icy... :wink: They don't show these shows on Canadian Hbo from some reason... The ice only looks about 1 foot thick, but that's as far as you can see the ice cracks, it's much thicker, rated for 140,000 lbs. :shock: I think this truck made a wrong turn... onto thinner ice ? Good thing diesel is lighter than water...

![]() I watched last season. I certainly wouldn't want to work for that one guy.. damned if I can remember his name or company name, but he ran three FLDs, I think, and I think his personal tractor was a 9900i.. anyhow, he didn't seem to give much particular concern for his drivers. |
