Most trucking fans agree that Cab & Trailer is the highest form of trucking in the world. That being the case, non-articulated trucks are a part of that world and as such, deserve respect, and in some cases, adoration.   Most people know the DFT-30 as the flatbed workhorse of the trucking world.

This evil ruse reaches out like a Siren, trying to pull affected truckers to depths of a steep cliff, sundering their tractor trailers on the sharp rocks and outcroppings below.

Did I mention I am (trying to) take this to the top of Mount Chiliad ? This is looking a little precarious... Fuck. Next time on BORN2TRUCK, I will take a Roadtrain and attempt the same.
