Oh, I have a lot of topped truck stories. One was the first day for a driver in a brand spanking new straight truck. 22 foot box returned as a flat bed.

Driving is not for me. Yes, it certainly takes concentration to wrestle the rig down the road. Specifically when surrounded by morons in cars believing these rigs can stop on a dime. Most of my fleet is aging(meaning my drivers) and many turn in the tractors/straight trucks and purchase a Sprinter. Less hassle and expense.
