I think I read that this "move it off the road" valve is still required (or at least common?) on buses...

I'm almost 6'3".. it was about as uncomfortable as it could get for me. Of course it could have been the seat and the way it was in there.. but it sure didn't work for me.

I saw an old Mack yesterday on the side of the beltway, pulling a flatbed. It was an old Overnite truck. I'll see if I can find something similar an post a pic, but I can tell ya it was old. Oh yeah, behind that Mack was an old International pick up truck, they had to be traveling together, or I entered a time warp. :shock:

I like those old trucks.
