Its an option if you have more time to go but not worth the hassle if you only have a couple of more years left.
I'm only putting a couple more years in.
I'm comfortable where I'm at . I really do not really care to learn any new jobs
And I'm definitely not a fan of driving at 2:00 in the morning up steep hills during a snow storm.

All you tough guy, hothead loudmouths....the safety deniers.
You know the folks who belittle over load retainers? Look the other way and stay silent as fellow drivers do stupidly, dangerous stuff on the yard and on the road. Being deliberately obstinate.....making glib generalizations.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE....LISTEN UP.
And yeah, I've been telling "someone" for awhile...
Not difficult....true.

An ABC article I read said that he passed an emergency ramp and kept going down the hill. He admitted to police that he closed his eyes because he thought he was going to die.
I'm sure he probably wishes he died now.
What a POS.

Green card holder. Looks to me like a young, naive driver without the proper training or respect for the dangers of the job.

Btw, I received 2 days "training" and took my State driving test the 3rd. Had never even looked inside a tractor.
Was instructed about lower gearing on grades and such. No driving instruction. No practice.
Went sleepers and NEVER received any formal training....matter of fact not a word. Told to report an hour early my first day of sleepers to find out about HOW TO DO SLEEPERS....absolutely true.
Turned loose on every road in America. Any mountain road was possible.
I think this style of management is at least stupidly negligent.
And if I crashed and burned down mountain road....? Would be some great questions there.....about training....experience.
We don't have "mountains" around here.

More bullying.
BTW, I welcome and encourage intelligent and even spirited conversation. Try that. This is not^.
Jealousy is not becoming. Gives an image of petty weakness and stuff!!!!

Hes right, but....Brake loss doesn't have to be by air or hydraulic loss, if you "overcook" the brakes they get too hot and become useless, you can put it to the floor and get nothing. The tractor/trailer uses the same pads/shoes for emergency braking, so if he burned them off there would be no failsafe.

You have nothing I want.
I was wrong 110 years isn't enough He should get the death penalty
