Oh yeah, with a full load of paper. They have these nifty signs that tell truckers when to speed up and when to brake but it was the middle of the night, I was late, I was tired, it didn't seem all that steep and anyway I didn't need no stinking warning signs that is until I started getting that funny smell. Turns out I was laying down a smoke screen. It's been over 10 years but it is still fresh in my fading memory. A guy behind me said at one point that I had flame but I guess it blew out. There wasn't anything I could do about it anyway. I didn't need that lesson twice and it never happened again. Glad that part of my life is over as it was the hardest work I've ever done in my life. Those drivers that deliver our stuff don't get paid near enough.
