Hey mate, thanks for your great response. I know it's difficult for you to get involved all the time so I'm glad you were able to this week.
You've turned a few spanners in your time, which I knew already, but it has to be said that a trucker's life is not spent behind the wheel and eating heart attacks out of a paper bag in truck stops. All respect should be given to those who do it and those, like yourself, who can sustain the job for years.
I know you're tried man, 30 years of trucking will do that. I hope you get to rest, drive locally maybe, a milk run somewhere, in a rigid maybe.
Thanks for a great post.
I Was just reading your comment/reply to @pooky-jax interpretation was required...
Rigid = Straight (usually a 20 foot to 30. Non combo.
Help me with "spanners". Is it turns? (round trips)
Steering Wheels?
My final guess would be...
What is a Wrench or Tool for $500 Alex?
Rigid = Non-articulated (i.e. no 5th wheel.
Spanner = Wrench.
We say wrench here too, but rarely.
