It is a very different skill to drive a truck that's 70 feet long and weighs 80,000 pounds. Sharing the road with semi trucks is a skill just about everyone can improve upon, and knowing HOW to drive with truckers would make Montana roads immensely more safe for everyone.

Around 25 years ago, a Montana truck driver by the name of Bill Sprout got a rather unique call that brought him right into the middle into one of the most unique and largest crime stories in the state of Montanaâthe arrest of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, at his cabin in Lincoln.
MTN News talked with Sprout in his first-ever televised interview about the delivery he made decades ago.
âI donât know how they picked me or why they picked me or what they did, but they told me one day to come into the office,â Sprout says. âI just thought it was disciplinary or something. They told me about what was going to go on. I had to get a check and go through all of my background.â
