2 weeks a go the military said to me that I was a very good truck driver and they asked me participate the national truck driver championship.
I agreed and this weekend was the contest.
You must know that the other civilian truck drivers drive every year 100.000 miles.I drive only 1000 miles in a year in a rather small truck.

I ended op on the 5th place of 11 truck divers. Not bad.
I was not familiar with the truck I drove and it was a lot longer than my army truck.

That's great! Thanks for sharing the story and the pictures. On a side note, I can't believe they make you guys maneuver those rigs around actual children! That's a hard core driving test! Were any children injured? :popcorn:

I think it is states in the championship rules. Most trucks in Holland do not have this mirror.
