To me, the other type is not necessarily "figurative" but rather hyperbolic.
I thought he was an amateur pilot? /s
You are legally allowed to fire someone for simply existing in most US states
I don't know what FedEx governs their trucks at, but I'm pretty sure it's under 68. I'm governed at 68 and pass FedEx every night.
It is still a thing. Not as popular, but the mini truck crowd is still around.
I Googled it again, as of 2014 it was 29 states. Many of those it has been #1 for decades. Not sure about 2020/2021.
If I remember correctly, truck driving is the most common occupation in like 30 states.
This is exactly what I mean. Remember when wagons were wagons, sedans were sedans, coupes were coupes, and SUVs were SUVs? I miss the 90s.
I hate the propagation of the "Crossover SUV". They suck. And they have made the lines so much more blurry with things like the Outback.
I agree. But they're kind of expensive. I mean, really the only companies that even offer them now are like Audi and Volvo.
I mean obviously I haven't done it ? but you may end up in a state of complete incoherence for 72 hours. Not able to talk, walk, sleep...
Don't eat 5. Do. Not. Eat. 5. Not that I know from experience or anything.....
Than you personal car. Even a 20ft box truck is worlds different; not a 53' combination, but still a lot different than a car.
CDL vehicles, eg box trucks. Anyone with a license can drive them but they don't understand that they have to be handled much differently...
As a truck driver who has never hit anything but has got VERY close a few times - these drivers suck. It's one of the main issues with non..
In some industries, you don't have to pay HOURLY employees overtime, either. Thanks, FMCSA. The trucking industry appreciates you. /s
This is most likely the master. Definitely one of those times where that $800 is the knowledge, not the parts. New Master is like $80.
If you've got a vehicle with a non-CVT automatic transmission, you probably already have one. ?♀️ just not as small or cool.
I keep seeing this and the math on that last post is just wrong. $6m/2.2million employees = <$3 more per employee per year.
Going from lower to upper, and traffic going from upper to lower ALL AT ONE TIME? Again. It's beyond stupid. Texas is different.
The one you take affects which exits you can get on, so every mile or two there's: traffic merging on, traffic merging off, traffic
Oh, San Antonio? You mean the only place in the country with Upper and Lower intestate routes that basically take you the same place but
This happens in OH in snow. They think 4wd means they can go faster in snow. Yeah, you go forward better. You don't stop any better though.
Exactly. And braking distance is not linear. 2x the speed = 4x the braking distance. At 75mph, brakes can fail at near lock before stopped.
TX is the only state in the country I've ever come across a fucking traffic light in a 75mph zone and I've driven in 47 states. Bonkers.
With 80mph speed limits, but the others are much more sparsely populated. The exit design is terrible and pretty specific to TX.
I'm not sure of contributing factors but if i had to guess I would say high speed limits and highway exit designs. TX isn't the only state
