The Rig

I still get the butterflies whenever I see my love driving his truck, with or without the trailer.  It blows my mind how at ease he is with that beast, especially when he's backing it up with the trailer.  I don't even like backing out of a parking space at the grocery store!!!

Here are a series of pics showing him backing up to hook up the trailer.  Can you see his arm out the window?  He's so nonchalant about it.





This pic gives you a better idea of the size of it.  The trailer alone is 53'!!!  So be nice to truckers on the road, because they cannot stop quickly or maneuver easily!  In the battle between a car and tractor trailer, the truck will win every time, and the driver of the passenger vehicle could easily lose their life.
