    Had a door slammer come up to me after pulling into a truckstop to use the facilities and tell me that I needed to flag my load because it was oversized. Told him to stay in his truck and let me do my job, bad mood this morning, and I don't have to do squat until I hit 10' wide and I was only 9'8". And away I went... Passing a couple of MCS (Motor Carrier Services(DOT)) trucks along the way.

    Heck it was just a little 962 loader. 550 miles round trip, I didn't have time to jaw around. On the way back I did help another driver plug his trailer tire when I stopped for fuel for myself and the truck. He had been driving for 16 years but had never used a plug kit.
