You are correct, and this thread may get shut down due to that fact

They're only words. And they are truckers, using....well....trucker talk! Sticks and stones can break bones, words can't hurt a thing. Turn on Comedy Central late night and it's like watching HBO.

That truck was probably moving at a low speed. They don't run that straight to let the wheel go for as long as that knucklehead did .

I did use one of those "grabber" things to get stuff from across the truck when driving. Takin' a wiz while driving was challenging (for me anyway)......Sometimes the load was behind schedule when picked up and stopping was not an option.

They are shown carrying really light loads. I guess the ice can't handle normal weights.

Has there only been 1 episode so far? I DVRed the first one because I had to go to bed early, and when I came home yesterday to finish it there were 4 shows recorded . Two of them may have been the HD version, but for the life of me I couldn't find the History channel in HD, so were there just two episodes or just one or did my DVR just go crazy?
