I was raised around truckers, my dad was one for about 30 years. Shit falling off a truck sucks. My dad was fined $300 for a rock that fell off his trailer...and I'm talking about a little rock...some asshole called the State Troopers and gave them a description of my dad's truck, said a rock fell off his truck. I lost a wooden block off a flatbed that was ran over by a truckdriver behind me. Shot that block out like a cannon into a car in the left lane. The "sliver" in the bead was about 1 1/2" in diameter...lucky it did not take someone's head off. So alot of these guys are concerned for other's safety. I agree with them. Why do anything to further fuel the public that hate what we do? Stop the SSM hate long enough to consider what these "drag safely" guys are trying to tell you.
^^^^^^^ i am with you completely!!! i too am a truck driver so i know what you are talking abot. i use a cutting edge off of a bulldozer. it is reallly hard steel. i had to arc weld it on there. and its been on there for over 6yrs!!! works very well once it gets hot. i have had some guys ask me if i had fag blocks b/c of the color of sparks.
