[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 569, member: 10"] TJ, up til about 4 yrs ago I didn't have a jake. I've trucked all over the country without one. Most of the time I have mine turned off. Jakes are great. They are a real boon for going down big grades. The stop sign at 4th and main usually isn't a big grade. I've yet to see a truckstop with a grade steep enough either. I borderline wish they'd never been invented. I would venture a guess of about 99% of the time they are misused. They are for grades, not a replacement for the brake pedal. Its a sore spot. The 'Proffesionalism' of modern truckers, what's called 'newbreed' is non exsistant. I hate it. We were once Knights of the Highway, Kings of the Road. Now we, as a group, are no better than a crackdealer. No respect for ourselves,muchless anyone else. Stinky,rude,pieces of sh•t,with no pride and no reason left to have any. No sir, you will Not EVER catch me acting like these NewBreed Arsehats. I will be as clean and as corteous as I can be. Treating every vehicle like my kids are in it, and treating every enviroment like its my living room. There's reason this industry has fallen, in person or on the phone I'd tell ya but I won't go there on the board. [/QUOTE]
