I am not suggesting that the trucks have to be ABS trucks to be safe. I was merely relating some anecdotal evidence in support of ABS to prevent stall in the event of a panic stop. Training is great, but as I said all the training in the world may fly out the window if a minivan pulls out in front of you chock full of kids.

The ABS would also provide a margin of safety to a 939-series newbie who drives their truck off of the GL lot thinking it's just like their deuce.

I see I should have started a new thread just for this discussion.
