I'm no CDL driver, but I've driven 100,000lb semi trucks plenty - in Washington, you don't need a CDL if you work for a farmer and are hauling agricultural commodities. When your entire day involves driving back and forth between two places, someone pumping their arms for a honk made my day probably more than it did theirs.

What's the transmission like on a modern OTR truck? How many speeds, and where does the high and low split? Is it still the norm to no-clutch shift when you're already moving?

Wolves are pests when it comes to livestock. Usually they hunt for natural prey, but once they get a taste for cattle they never stop going back for the easy meal. The beef eating wolves cost ranchers a huge amount, and can sometimes completely wipe out their profits for an entire year.
