    What's a friction mat?

    It is a rubber mat that is placed under rolls of paper to keep them from sliding.

    You take a trailer to the shop for a glad hand seal? Don't you carry some with you?

    the volvo they had put me in only had a partial light kit, i had to build it back up, so a few things i didn't have.. i didn't have every type of fuse, and i didn't have the top marker light that goes on the trailer, the two inch long amber one.. but the trk i'm in now came with a full kit, and everytime i use something i make sure to get it again next time i'm at a shop. and if i manage to do a drop and hook to a piece of garbage, with missing lights, and what nots, i drag it to where ever i can get replacement items and call the shop for a PO... sometimes they tell me to drag it to a TA to get those little issues fixed, but usually i get authorized a PO, saves me alot of time.
