I am a truck driver by profession. Long haul. So basically that truck (2005 Century Class Freightliner, Condo sleeper) is my home.

so I called road service and they fixed it all up and good and I continued on down the highway, and delivered the load I was hauling.

the point of this thread is to show how blessed one can be even during a worst case scenario..

and other things like miracles
someone greater than me looked out for me
ummm .... Valkyries exist and can hold up a 73,000 pound tractor trailer combo for four miles till I could bring it into a safe location
ummm ... miracles

You shouldn't be doing 65mph in a 15mph zone.

agreed, you should not do 65 in a 15 so stop it! oh oh thats right, you dont even have a drivers license yet! and surely have never driven anything bigger than your baby sister's tricycle. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

For me though, the speed limit on I-65 in Indiana for big trucks is 65mph. I was not breaking the law. Something you should get in the habit of doing. :D

1) I have a drivers license.
2) Yeah, a quad is definitely smaller than a tricycle.
3) The law is meant to be broken, that's why its there, and why there are so many easy ways of doing it too.

And way to laugh at your own poor joke.

Alb, are you implying that not only you are older than 18 but also have a job?

yup, 50 years old, and have been working at earning money since I was 13. Been on my own since I was 17 when I joined the Navy.

Nah I dont believe it, you're way to young to have a driver's license, and I seriously doubt you have the courage to drive even if you did buy a forged one.

and you liked the way I laughed? why thankyou. ;)

You can easily get a license at 16.
What's exactly scary about riding a quad?

you are only 16? it all makes perfect since now. lol

and nothing scary about riding a quad those are for pussies, I was speaking of something a bit more powerful like an 18 wheeler, and not a lil ole anybody can get beginner's permit. I was refering to a Commercial Driver's License, class A
