I can't imagine driving a truck through one of those areas. I used to have my CDL, but only used it for dumptrucks/construction and never the triple-trailers I was licensed to drive.
How do they get you out of the gravel after you shoot up one of those?
Enjoyed your writing.
$850 tow bill and they fine you for the use of the escape ramp.
I had my triple and all the permits. Did some Hazmat but mostly reefer runs. I just wanted to go from Walmart to Walmart. But it was hard to make any money of your wheels did not move constantly.
