Welcome to FG Kat! How long have you been doing OTR? Does your company take you mostly to the East Coast?

Looking forward to reading your posts!

Hello and Welcome Kat!!! You will really enjoy it here.

By the way...my step-dad was driving on the highway with my mom in the passenger seat one day, next to a semi, and a tire blew...It was literally 3 feet from my mom's head...She had a bruise on her face for days and said it felt like someone had whacked her open-handed in the side of the head! Luckily no windows blew!! I have always given the utmost respect to big-rig drivers, and as big a berth as I possibly can!!

Welcome, again. Have fun, and be safe!! :yh_peace

Kat, you drive a trailer truck? I get a charge out of women truckers...do you own a truck or do you drive for a company? I have 3 Tri-axles, 2 Petes, 1 Kenworth, and a Kenworth Tractor with a Benson Trailer, 1 Ford Sterling. How long have you been driving?

I have driven a Pete Tri-axle to the top of a hill, that was it, i did not think i would be able to stop the truck with the just the brake, you need to down shift. We have the Dressed OUt Peterbilts, with the BIG motors, air ride suspension, the whole bit, we head out a 4:00 am our first delivery, we average around 600 miles daily, we deliver through-out Connecticut to Concrete Companies, Towns, Pre-Cast Companies, my guys run tight (together)...you know the CB's, two radios, etc...in the photo gallery here, there is a truck pic. I Give to Much Credit For what you do! I would like to be able to drive a truck, yes, i would...
