Last night at 3 am I witnessed a truck towing a mobile home on a trailer. It's hard to explain but the trailer a lone had 24 tires (12 front and back). Botth the front and rear wheels of the trailer would pivot. He was making a turn at the intersection and it took him about 10 mins to make the turn. A bunch of flaggers who were following in a truck had to get out and stop traffic for him to make the turn.

My thoughts too. I'm 24 and I can barely afford a supercab xlt lol. My first car was an 86 vw golf.

Man I feel very lucky to easily afford a 2011 fx4 full loaded. And I'm only 22. I'm also married, have a house, 2 cars,quads, jetski, ect. Oh but no kids. Thank god. More money for toys.

Btw towing trailers are so easy. I've been towing since I was 15. Nothing to major biggest load was a 38 foot cig boat I pulled with my old 99 f350. Which was a piece of cake. I think bigger loads are easier to pull than large ones.

Back in 1972 before Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy and even before a lot of you were born I was driving this gasoline tanker. Our motto was drive safe or die!

My trailer was only 40' but we hauled them over the deadliest roads in the world and if youre old enough to join the Army youre old enough to drive one! lol

That even look's worse than hauling gasoline! I drove heavy truck's when I was in the Air Guard back in the Vietnam era. I've been dealing with truck's since 1969!

Yeah I hauled fuel stateside but not overseas. I did haul many many tons of high explosives when we were cleaning out Sadam's ammo dumps though, talk about white knuckle driving.

This pic is of a civilian contractors truck hauling 7500K of JP8 that we were escorting, it got hit with an RPG (driver escaped unhurt)

Not a pretty sight, glad the driver escaped. I hauled a lot of Av Jet A aka kerosene to the airport in New Orleans. 3 load's a night and top it off with a service station delivery. 10 hour or more shift's back then and being a company driver for a major oil company had great benefit's too. I drove untill they shut down the terminal I worked at. My apoligies to the OP for getting me started on trucking.

I cant back a trailer for ****. I can run race tracks in reverse but put a trailor on the back of it and you might as well be throwing me into a a ****ing pilots seat in a airplane. Only really tired 2 times in my whole life but it takes some getting used to.
