The revenue could help w/ keeping the Dragon safe and pothole free. On second thought, that would probably attract more authority......... never mind, sorry.
There are plenty of warning signs, andthe Truckers community is not unaware of the dangers. But trucker, esepecialy OTR independents, are stubborn breed of machos guys that take the warningthreats and danger as a challenge.
The video makes it appear like there are a lot of these fools on the Dragon. Not so. But, it only takes the
one to mess up your day.
