[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 351247, member: 2383"] Emergency Brakes are for sissies: Dropped off a roll at one of the rental places this evening about an hour after dark. After unloading the roll and going thru gate to leave, I cut the two rear-facing floodlights on the truck on so as to see how to latch gate. Thought something was amiss when the lights started getting dim while I was chaining the gate. Truck was going across field at a pretty good clip by then. After a not-so-brief sprint across the field and a graceful lunge into the seat, I got it stopped about 20' before it ran thru the fence, somehow managing to lay on the horn in the confusion. For a brief moment I contemplated fixing that emergency brake, but then I came to my senses and realized I have made it this far without one, why waste all that time and money on a feed truck. :lol: cfpinz [/QUOTE]
