Respect on the Road

Respect on the Road

Script

Jesse: Fun fact: semi-trucks cannot stop as fast as cars. I’ll be honest. I feel like our driver education system has a major flaw in it. They don’t take the extra time to educate student drivers about how air brake systems operate and how much more of a delay there is for a big rig to slow down.

As a truck driver myself, I can say that I’m literally astounded by how many people I have seen in my short career pull right out in front of me like they have a deathwish or something.

Bottom line is, respect trucks, respect their drivers, and always give them plenty of room on the road and don’t cut them off, unless you want to risk your life and the life of anyone else in your vehicle. Because if our 105,000 pound truck smashes into your 3,000 pound car, it’s not going to be pretty.

The Lift n Go is a neat little device that allows truck drivers to over inflate their air ride suspension so that it is easier for them to hook up to trailers instead of spending a long time cranking landing gear and potentially injuring themselves.

STARRING:

Steve Reifenstahl

STEVE: Tired of finding trailers that were dropped to high?

Shows him trying to hook up to trailer that is too high.

STEVE: Well, not anymore. This is the Lift n Go. Just push the button and watch ‘er go!

Shows the air bags inflating so that that truck sits high enough to hook the fifth wheel now.

On-screen graphics will talk about what it does and how it prevents shoulder injuries.

Shows Steve spending a long time cranking landing gear and hurts his shoulder.
