Popular Post Green Dash Posted August 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'll bet that if they did have GPS they wouldn't be trying to stuff these trucks under 11'6" overpasses.

farmer52 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 EPA, OSHA, and DOT would "$hit a brick" if these were on the road today. No "steering wheel holders" need apply.
