Whatever happened to sweeping your mirrors?? Every 15 seconds, left mirror, gauges, right mirror, straight out the windshield. Force yourself to do this for 15- 20 miles, and you will never be able break the habit for the rest of your life. It makes you stay in the center of the lane, you don't pick up sharp crap off the shoulder, you don't jeapardize anyone's safety on the left, you always know the situation surrounding you, and you always know what is going on internally in the
engine and tranny.
All you really have to do at that point is to adjust the air in the seat for a comfortable ride, make sure there's coffee in the thermos, and enough cigarettes WITHIN REACH to get through a 10 or 12 hr shift.

I got off the road in 1990, and things have changed a lot since then, but seriously guys,

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE TRUCK DRIVERS???

Rant over,
Brett out.
