Hey,sometimes I figger I'm lucky if it starts,whats more rolls out onto the street. Actually,I'm not too worried about getting it to the street as we have a 250' 6% downgrade,but the turn onto the street can be scary if the brakes aren't working right.
I do kinda baby my rig though and see no need to do tests like that where I'm putting undue stress on it. Now when it comes to my part-time jobs,I'll tell you that my favorite school bus will really haul serious A**,as does the MCI9 that I get to use when the owner lets me drive a charter run once in awhile. He's jsacked it upa bit.
The school bus that I drove before I retired,and back subbing now,was a 40' Thomas with a Cummins and I don't know who adjusted the fuel,but when you put your foot in it,there was some serious smoke and that bus would roll.Drove 20 HS band members,their gear and 5 adults across the mountains once in it and went over Snoqualamie Pass at the speed limit all the way.
