    Ah yes Paul my dad taught me all of that and then some like hold a Log Book in your windshield when your on a two lane road to let the other truckers coming at you DOT back then it was the ICC is checking Log Books give them a big wave across your windshield to let them know it’s all clear behind you or give them a circular motion with your hand to tell them keep it wound up and the hammer down no cops or DOT behind you hold a two fingers up like a piece sign to let them know there a cop on the side with radar I can go on with all the hand signals my dad taught me when I was a kid.

                              No it’s a White 5000 it had a all fiberglass cab it was a disaster for White Motor Co. There were stories my dad would tell the cab would split in half.
