Question:

Truck drivers are in an ideal position to see and report human trafficking, that can often occur at truck stops and rest areas. Which of the following trafficking red flags should you look for?

1. An individual who does not know where they are, or about the community around them

2. An individual not in control of their own travel documents, such as a passport or drivers license

3. An individual who seems tense, afraid, or otherwise nervous

4. All of the above

Answer: All of the above

Explanation
Trafficking victims are often moved around, may be victims of physical, sexual and forced drug abuse, and may be forced to work in prostitution. If someone offers you temporary companionship, ask them relevant questions, take descriptions of relevant physical characteristics and vehicles, and offer assistance. DO NOT approach possible traffickers, but call 1-888-3737-888 (US) instead.

Never try to force your gears. Go back to your starting position, rebalance the revs and speed and it should then change smoothly.

Question: What happens when you let the air out of hot tires?

This is a bad idea because when the tires cool off, the pressure will be too low.

When tires get hot, the air pressure rises. However, relieving that pressure will leave the air pressure too low later, and the tires may then catch fire or blow out. It will also not have a cooling effect. If your tires are too hot to touch, stop until they have cooled down.
