I started thinking when I read this line "Let's not forget the unsung hero - the driver of the semi" from an another topic on NBC Knight Rider board (this very same forum). I have always pictured Reginald Cornelius 3rd (RC3) as the driver of the semi. He was seen driving it in "KITTnap" and "The Wrong Crowd" (atleast). Though I recall they talked Bonnie having done some autopilot for the semi which would explain how it was on the move sometimes when RC was in the trailer fixing his bike and loitering around.
Was RC's job description the semi driver or was it ever mentioned? Or maybe he was just a "handyman!" to be used as a driver, occasional field ops (Knight of The Thousand Devils, Knight Song) or backup (KITTnap)....

Re: RC3
I sort of think of him as a F.L.A.G. intern in the earlier episodes of Season 4, at least. I seem to remember Devon not letting him participate in any field missions at first, so his duties seemed to be hanging around the mansion and occasionally driving the semi. It wasn't until later on when Michael needed his help that he became of more use. Nevertheless, I always liked his character as a kid, even though he wasn't all that important.

Re: RC3
yea i remember when I first saw that he was coming aboard flag I was pretty dissapointed. I really didn't want any other heros for the show. He grew on me though and probably by the end of the second episode with him in it I was liking him more and more in the show. I think he fit in nicely and was always willing to help out michael wen needed.
Booonnnnnzzzzaaaaaiii!!!!!!!! As michael turbo boosts to score the extra point. His face is so funny when he yells this and when he hits turbo boost his eyes get huge and he flies back into the seat

Re: RC3
He did go in the field with Michael in KITTnap, and that was the second episode of the season.I seem to remember Devon not letting him participate in any field missions at first
I just watc´hed 'Burial Ground' (3rd ep) and there Michael and RC were bickering, RC commented something about remembering to avoid rocks next time and Michael answered "According to Foundation manual, page 47, the driver of the semi should, unless otherwise engaged, be behind the wheel", and that was when RC said "But Bonnie's autopilot runs so smooth" when Devon comes in and tells RC to go drive it rather than let 30 tons roll on the street by itself...

Re: RC3
I wonder just how many people the Foundation truly employed. Michael and K.I.T.T. were well known as the law enforcer team of the Foundation. Devon was a manager of sorts. Bonnie/April were the mechanics. We had a secretary with a name. A few techs in white lab coats. The unknown driver. And, then there were all these truly unseen characters, developing away on high tech projects. Occasionally, one or two might come out of the wood works, like the disgruntled former employee with inside knowledge and plans on theft and terror. But, I wonder just how truly vast the Foundation really was.
