Now that I am sixteen and can drive, my truck has become big part of my life. It is what takes me back and forth to places that I need and want to go such as school, work, and friends’ houses. From the inside to the outside, it is something that I can call mine and cherish for as long as it runs. In this essay, I plan to focus on the inside; this includes the floor, the seats, the radio, and the contents of the cab. The floor is dark gray and is textured with small bumps. Even though this is where people put their feet, it is still clean. The floor mats and the constant efforts put into cleaning the truck protect the textured vinyl flooring from getting dirty. The vinyl material that makes up the floor, unlike the carpet material found in …show more content…
These are things that did not come with it, but were put in there by me. The first thing that you would see while looking at the interior of my truck are the two fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror of the front dash. Even though it is a cliche, It is something that I have always liked to see them in vehicles. There is also a large stuffed dog buckled up in the middle seat of the back row. It was given to me by my girlfriend and I could not think of a better place to put it than where I spend a lot of my time. In the vehicle, I also have a small car trash can that hangs on the back of my passenger seat. This helps with the efforts made to keep my truck clean. In addition to the fuzzy dice, the stuffed dog, and the trash can, I also have some emergency items in my truck. I have a first aid kit that I keep emergency supplies in along with twenty dollars that I keep in their for emergencies. Also I keep a hat in my truck at all times. Incase a cowlick develops throughout the day or I’m just having a bad hair day, I can use the hat to cover it. Most of the time I also have other items inside my truck such as my bookbag and a change of clothes for tennis practice, but these are the ones that alway stay their for the most

Each person has a purpose in life. One is born for some important work to do. Another one to write a beautiful word. The third lies as a comma or semicolon or small shaped as individual letters in the whole chapter ... but we all write our common human book. I would like to contribute to the writing of this book and tell a little about the life of truck drivers in Canada.
Self driving trucks are a raging topic in today's society. The thought of a vehicle that can drive without a person behind the wheel is amazing within itself. Companies like Otto, Volvo, Daimler, and Peterbilt are sponsoring this idea. The rumor of self driving trucks has been going around for awhile now but people are finally taking action.
There are more than 253 Million cars and trucks in the U.S at this moment. That sounds like a lot but really it isn’t that many. For every 1.3 cars or trucks there is only one person in the United States. With this many cars and trucks in the U.S. there is bound to be some controversy about which one is better. Many people may prefer trucks over cars and in vice versa. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. While trucks are better at hauling or towing things, cars have better gas mileage and can hold more people.
Chevrolet has added many options to the lineup for the new trucks this year. A new and improved traction controlled system has been added as well as Stabilitrak Electronic Stability Control System and power side view mirrors. As far as the interior goes, there is always the option of having leather seats but this year Chevrolet added heated seats for the driver and passengers of the vehicle as well as satellite radio. Axles on the new Silverado’s have been upgraded to 9.5 inch axles.
Eighteen wheelers are a vital part of interstate commerce in our country. The big rigs carry products across state lines, and keep our stores’ shelves stocked with the things we need on a daily basis. But, when a trucker is involved in an accident, the injuries are usually catastrophic. The sheer weight of a truck is such that when it collides with a car, the results are severe. Drivers and passengers in cars can suffer broken bones, internal organ damage, spinal and brain cord injuries, or even death. Staying safe around big rigs requires drivers to pay extra special attention when near a truck, and to keep a safe distance. But, drivers can only do so much; it also takes diligence on the part of the trucker in order to safely share the road.
The most visible change in telling the difference in a 1968 from a 1967 was the addition of side-marker reflectors on all fenders. Also, the small rear window cab was no longer available. Another addition was the Custom Comfort and Convenience interior package that was better than the Standard cab and more low class that the CST cab options. C10 or K10 models could be manufactured with either a 115-inch wheel base with a 6 1/2-foot cargo box or 127- inch wheelbase with an 8-foot cargo box available in Fleet side or Step side models. Standard Features included Full-width seat with vinyl trim, deluxe air heater/defroster, backup lights, painted front bumper because chrome bumpers are not considered “standard”. Also the 1968 Chevy trucks came with a 2-speed windshield wiper and directional signals. For about 160 dollars more, the CST (Custom Sport Truck) package could be ordered which had all of the features listed above, plus Western style vinyl seats, roof rim molding, carpeting for the floor panels and also for the gas tank, and break and gas pedal
I own a Ford truck. So I know what I am talking about when I speak on this subject. I agree with the Ford Truck commercials. The best selling, best built trucks in America. I really can't speak to the quality of today's Ford truck, however. With all the changes in the industry, changes within Ford itself, not to mention today's disposable society...
Truck driving is a job that people have a passion for. People don't just wake up thinking I wanna get a job truck driving. It's a passion and commitment because the process is not easy. Especially when you have to go state to state some people can't handle the days away from there family and 2nd they can't handle the on the road life period. There are great outcomes though especially when you a have years behind this career.
Semi drivers who drive big trucks are always more aware after a good night's sleep. So a truck owner that has a big truck as a daily driver will be more aware . This helps because it shows that lifted truck drivers are more aware of their surroundings. Other people would say, “But when driving at night, lifted truck drivers won’t be as aware.” They are wrong because it is just like when any regular family goes on vacation.
The Darkhorse troop of 6st Squadron 8th Calvary, was assigned to Anbar Province, Iraq in 2007. These soldiers worked alongside the EOD units. The Darkhorse Troop was tasked with EOD and the TAC. The mission demanded two sections of four Staff Sergeants that would include three sergeants and the rest E4 and below. The Alpha section of Darkhorse troop were in charge of moving the SCO around to important meetings and the TAC to ensure an efficient mission. The Bravo section’s responsibility consisted of three separate tasks moving EOD to UXO’s locations, clear routes for the Squadron and QRF for the Mustang squadron. The insurgents from this area were known to have ran the village people out and dig in for a fight of the Southern Anbar
Also I can’t forget about the bags. To make the bags we use the hide of a bison. In the bags we usually just carry medicine and personal items which really comes in handy when fall rolls around.
When we think of the word big trucks you think of monster trucks first but it actually can also mean the big tall lift of a truck and that is how monster trucks came to be. Lifting a vehicle over the legal height is not allowed on the streets because of how big the vehicle is when modified and can run the risk of running people off the road or over their car. When lifting a vehicle started out it was for the everyday man or woman who was interested in mudding there vehicle to the max and now it has became much more popular because people love the thrill of riding higher than everyone else and can still mud in their everyday driver. The method of lifting a vehicle was first used by the military and when the wars were over
In the recent years, the United States government has been enforcing stricter mandates on auto manufacturers to create safer vehicles, and on construction companies to create safer roadways. Matthew Jensen wrote a dissertation for the Graduate School of Clemson University titled, A Methodology for the Analysis of In-vehicle Operating Data and Design of Intelligent Vehicle Systems for Improved Automotive Safety. In his abstract, Jensen evaluated the future of vehicle manufacturing and traffic-related incidents. Of course, every year more vehicles are manufactured, which in theory means the number of miles driven in vehicles increases. He points out how the World Health Organization (WHO) found that automobile crashes was the ninth
I could feel the cold brisk air brushing up against my skin as I ventured through the darkness in this vacant parking lot on a dreary Sunday night in November. I could see a car in the distance and began to approach it. The car appeared to be an old rusted out vehicle with extremely tinted windows that were dark like death. As I looked inside the vehicle I noticed that the car was as clean as a crystal. Not a speck of dust could be found on the interior and the floor mats were completely spotless. It was as if the vehicle had never been driven before. I then put my hand on the door and proceeded to step inside of the vehicle. As I did so I felt a sensation through my whole body that made me tingle. It was an unwelcoming sensation as if I was entering a whole new world. As I sat down there's was a smell, a sheer clean smell similar to that of a fresh load of laundry. Goosebumps came about all over my body as adrenaline rushed through my veins. I put my hands on the steering wheel and my mind took me into another dimension. Taking a glance in the rearview mirror I could see a mysterious person approaching the vehicle. As I examined the person I came to the conclusion that this must be the owner of the vehicle. I noticed they were dressed in all black and carrying what seemed to be a grocery bag of some sort. In panic, I got out of the car and looked at what appeared to be a male figure. The man was very masculine and tall. His mere presence was enough to strike fear into
