I think that there is far more to this story than we are being told.

I think that this truck was manufactured and operated in a dysfunctional and abusive environment.

With just a few billion dollars in social spending of tax dollars each year over the next thirty years or so, we could solve this problem of runaway trucks. 8)

Well, the buttons do not push themselves in, so if the inspector found them pushed in, the driver did not set the brakes. I have seen it happen before, and I'm afraid it will happen again. Do we need a "DEAD-MAN SWITCH" on the seat so that whenever the driver gets up, the brake sets itself?

Hey Stan...

Things are going ok with the roll off, they're a little slow so I'm not on the

truck as much as I'd like. I'm still having trouble eyeballing the rails

when I'm in the cab. I'm trying to back up as straight as I can but

sometimes I'm a little off. I wonder if hooking up and pulling a little

forward whould help to straighten the box out. I'll get it soon....I

hope..... :? :shock: :? 8) 8) 8)
