Wondering if that's where the term side seat driver came into play.

When I tested for my CDL it was on a Quad box. I’m not sure if we still have a dump truck sitting in the yard that has one in it or if it got cut up last time the scrap cutters came out.

I’m sure this is where the ruse about shifting gears in an intersection came into play.

Always fun to watch that.

We have two trucks with "brownies." Fun to drive with practice...humiliating when out of practice.
