You ever drive one Rob? Take my word for it, they operate on the edge of
control most of the time, with a usually very tired driver, and Lord help them

an emergency situation. In sleet or snow you hope for a heavy load (empty
trailers are like hearding smoke), if a slide starts, you just hold on and hope
it doesn't hit the bridge.
