I just had to tell someone

[needtoridetheworld]

Well today was the big day and I passed my class 1 FM drivers permit, which means I can drive a tractor trailer(53 foot), bus ,strait body truck ,emergency vehicle.In Quebec the FM means that I can drive any of the above vehicles with air brakes and a manual transmission.It took me 12 classes to get used to the double clutch and driving with a trailer but it was all worth it. Now I have to find a job.

I'll translate for my fellow USAers. I believe that the term "caravan" means a camping trailer, not a Dodge minivan, correct?

Thanks for sharing your rigs Humperdinkle. I really enjoy seeing the neat trucks you guys have down there. My dad used to drive trucks in the 1950's before interstates, and he's always taught me to respect the trucks and their mass/momentum.

And congrats to needtoridetheworld too!

Well translated my friend :thumbup: You must be 2 parts Aussie

Pleasure sharing my steads , there is many millions of Kilometres in these hands around this great country & so many pics I really should scan :rockon:

All drivers should be put in a truck & shown what its like as part of obtaining a licence to drive I reckon , to us momentum is everything..

I'm fascinated by Australia and hope to visit there someday. Speaking of your country and Caravans, here's an excellent website that I spent many hours reading:

Rob Gray :: graynomad :: wothahellizat

Is that the most awesome motorhome or what?

Being a railfan, I'm also interested by the neat railroads that you guys have too.

Congratulations! You're in Canada, so does that mean that I'll see you on the next season of Ice Road Truckers?
