Spoken like a true trucker!

Tell me something, I've heard that all the "big rigs" in the European community have fully synchronized transmissions. Is that true?

[fatman]

If by fully synced you mean auto boxes thats affirmative

And Ruggie what happened to the water tanks that were left out in the desert for the illegals or were they in a diff state

[Wullie]

Yes, that's what I meant about the trannies. In other words you can stick it any gear irregardless of the engine's rpm's.

Three million miles and I never had the luxury of driving a truck made for girls to drive. LOL

I learned to drive in trucks likes this, and was still driving similar stuff when I quit driving the big stuff in 2001.

Guess they should have brought their own water, there's a lot of nothing in Southern AZ. Those water cans can be pretty few and far between. They should have remembered the Boy Scout Motto. "BE PREPARED" or better yet, just stayed in Mexico

A lot of the ranchers were doing that so there wouldn't be any deaths. Until the last rancher was killed. Now I doubt there's much sympathy for any of these people.

Nah man im talking auto as in good old slush box the ony gears are drive amd reverse thats becoming all the rage doesnt bode well for the future i think it will breed lazy drivers. Most trucks i have driven have been syncro except for a 4 month stint on a road ranger was fun while it lasted except the truck i first took out had no working speedo or tacho made it fun trying to come down the gears

And im in a conundrum is this cool or scary Sherif Joe has a new toy but ill be dammed if they arent getting more militaristic right or wrong it is pretty kickass though

Joe would be jailed if he used that .50 on Americans. As for shooting Mexicans: I doubt highly that anyone would sympathize with the Mexicans. It's bad here. Real bad.
