Bad 5 Tons, owning a 5 ton myself a M-817w/w weighing in at 24,000lbs empty
and loaded with stone at around 44,000 lbs am well aware of what they can
do. I always pre trip the truck before it goes on the road, always drive on
the defense with the headlight on. While driving with CDL most companies do
believe there is no such thing as a accident but a deer can do 35mph in a
leap from a embankment. Still your fault. Ok then we drive 20 mph to avoid
deer in the country get 25 more trucks and drivers do to being safety
minded! No way can we do that. Accidents do happen and always will but as
long as it is realized that it was a accident we can go on. As far as
hitting the brakes a pull to the right would have put the truck into the
drivers seat so perhaps non braking was gods wonder.
Oh yes trying this list again hmm hope it works if it doesn't I will send
it as a attachment to the other list. More than one way to post it.
Anyone know of any cargo covers for a M-817 and also looking for the
decals that go on the air cleaner.
Also Joe you looking for a new drivers seat cushion for your truck? Not
funny but glad no one was hurt seriously.
