yeah.....if i hadn't spent all those hours watching shaun and hann and dk drift in glorious fully choreographed hollywood action, i wouldn't be here right now.

i used that viewing time to become a togue master....this afternoon, all that skill and knowledge was put to the test when i managed to kick out my trailer to about 30 degrees from my tractor....twice, in about 500 yards.at 10 mph, on flat straight level road.

jackknifes over 15 degrees are considered un-recoverable, i was over twice that...twice.


guess those guys really knew what they were doing.

my apologies to all the drift boi's who got hard when they saw that...it was a joke, watching the movie ain't gonna teach you jack about driving....




it was scary as shit though...took me about 5 hours to do 62 miles...and dispatch wondered why i brought it back in and called it a day..


think i'm gonna go to church this weekend and write a really big fucking check.....nah.

damn i cant wait for summer

glad i have next 2 days off

I dread to think what you were hauling at the time!
Click to expand...



usually crude oil...thankfully i never made it out to load, i would have gone to complete jk, because of the weight/push of moving load, daycab, no "crush" room(no sleeper to absorb impadt of trl coming around ), and of course i can just imagine what kind of mess that would make on the road...hmmm oil on ice.....

about 10 miles east of my town on tx 154

as it stands right now, a lot of roads are closed down in the panhandle, including i40, it's kinna freaky today, 28 degrees, but rain not snow or sleet, but it's freezing as soon as it hits the road, supposed to snow tonight, it's more of a winter thunderstorm, thunder/lightning, but snow(currently, finally...no wait it's rain again). totally out of character around here...i
tomorrows gonna be fun, few inches of snow on top of ice...

shhhh.....it's a secret, like tanya said, f&f4..trailer drift..its about a truck driver that has his opinions changed by a motorsports enthusaist website amd now has to use drift skilz he learned from toretto after he returns ro the usa to help save the community everyone thought he once despised...it's gonna be a real nail-biter
