    It's a Team's Life Proud to be a Truck Driver

    We watch as traffic plays out in front of us from our high perch, and I am often in awe as I watch the dance of the travel lanes.

    It's a Team's Life Lions, Tigers, & Bears, “OH MY”

    Everyone knows the rule, never swerve to keep from hitting an animal. When the animal is large and possible using the brakes hard while controlling steering is a good idea.
