memorable repair incident occurred when operating tractor trailer over the road after a long

trip and it lost its brakes. Assisted the mechanic sent by the company to repair the brakes by

the roadside in the dark. On another occasion while driving over the road a

battery cable wire shorted and caused a fire under the hood of the truck.

I knew how to extinguish the fire, but realized immediately that the fuel tank and the fire

extinguisher were both in the same location as the fire. With quick action, I was only slightly
