From the GIP Police thread: http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/10/07/truckers-for-the-constitution-plan-to-slow-dc-beltway-arrest-congressmen

This seems like a solid plan.

So here's a video from a site that's a good one for passing time, the sort of stuff I think truckers will enjoy. I warn you that it's decidedly :nws:, and that you'll want an ad blocker... It just so happens that this one video is actually a truck video...
http://grab.orsm.net/php/flow.php?file=update20131010/truck-brakes-fail-going-down-a-hill.mp4
Which leads me to ask, was there anything better this guy should have done, or was he pretty much hosed?

Longer copy of that video on a much safer website..

Dudes I need some hot steamy trucker help. I'm going to be driving a 16ft moving truck and car dolly from Seattle to Connecticut around the middle of February next year. I know nothing about crossing the mountains in the winter. Is that something where it would be better do drive south down the coast before going east? What's the best way to penetrate the mountain range in the winter?

I think you would be going way to far out of your way if you go far enough south to avoid the worst of the weather. Budget extra time in your trip planning for delays while waiting for conditions to improve, and don't take excessive risks.

Also, When I was planning a cross country move I was told to pull into weigh stations - the DOT boys will wave you through if they don't want you there.

4 injuries... 3 kids on the bus and a "drivers assistant" in the idiot truck

"The driver’s father, David Dunlop, told WFLA News Channel 8 over the phone that it was just an accident and that the car in front of his son sat through several light cycles and never moved. He told WFLA News Channel 8 that’s the reason his son chose to drive around the car in front of him."

I have a magnetic mount that slots into the CD player. Works great as the CD player is useless, and it's a pretty decent viewing angle while driving.
