We’ll probably will never know why the truck in the video jackknifed, but I can’t help wondering how many other similar incidents may arise from hard automated brake applications on trucks with non-functioning ABS, faulty brakes that won’t release quickly enough or crappy tires. And then ...
How many and what models of trucks have you driven? What type of trailer do you pull? What products do you haul? Do you use chains on the mountain passes when needed? How many hours can you drive each day? What Navigation/GPS do you use?
Once upon a time, I was out and about doing a bit of whale watching in a lagoon near San Ignacio (PS - the migration season will be starting up again soon) and I saw, from a distance, a slew of identical trucks on the edge of the water…that all happened to have a tent on the...

Gas rationing had little to do with a shortage; what the United States armed forces needed was rubber, so nonessential rubber usage (like car tires) had to go. In order to stop people from wearing out their tires and needing rubber that could have gone to military efforts, the U.S. ...
If a poor second gunman is chosen, when swapping the flat tires on the Gruppe Sechs trucks, he will forget to replace one of the truck's tires, though this has no effect on the rest of the mission. To make the mission easier, the crew's Gauntlets cannot be overtaken, as they will ...
Grey skies, closed food trucks, no treats. Snore. My life is one big snoozefest lately. What happened to MY Big Adventure?! We camped at Rancho Ojai, a very nice campground pretty near the border. I overheard that this was going to be our last night in Mexico. I couldn’t believe ...
Might as well be a boat. LOL, sorry, one for the Traxxas guys.. hey we all don’t live where it’s hot and sunny!), it was VERY cold during most of our testing. Temperatures have ranged from 20 to 40 degrees. And this is a WARM winter. So warming up the tires was near impos...
