If you're saying you are not smart enough not to kill someone, then I guess my prayers for you are in vain. Generally big rig drivers are a pretty smart, responsible, and safe lot. Your statements depict something less. Do you really fear you'll lose the load by stopping for a red light?

I'LL match my education/smarts against most.

Over 20 yrs, couple million miles...never in a chargeable accident.

Lose a load stopping...probably not.

Lose a load under hard deceleration...could happen.

The current load I have on weighs 47,000. Eight feet tall with 14 straps holding multiple pieces to the deck. I sure hope I don't have to slam on the brakes.

I stand by my statement. Unpredictable lights, at highway speeds, scare me. That is why, if you read my original comments on the subject, I stated that I approach them slowly and cautiously.

Enjoy the upcoming camping season. Thanks for the prayers. I know that God hears them, that education I briefly mentioned is a degree in Ministry.
