The Caves in MO
Hey all fellow drivers! Just wanted to throw this out there to see how many drivers has ever been to the caves in independent MO south cave? I was there last week my appt was at 1130 so sat there got the call to go to dock 8 i heard that and said ###### to myself having been there many times before i knew i was earning my pay that day so slid my tamdems and got into the caves went all the way around and set up to back into dock 8 took me about 20 mins to get it into the dock (back get out and look) blind side back, till it was in there I felt like i was a rookie but for me its like that everytime in the caves! I have almost 2 years with usa so just like to hear from other drivers whom had the pleasure of going to the caves and see if they have any sugestions or is it always the same with them

It's Independence.
I have been to Springfield and Carthage both of those are nice.
Been to KC Mo caves once near the FJ, didn't like those. Never been to Independence Caves.

I've been to one of those caves. It had a space something name (Park). It wasn't fun at all. I had a hard time just getting my trailer out of the dock. There was another trailer in next to it. It took me awhile. It was dark as Hades in there. If I ever see that place again it will be way to soon.

The Space Center is not bad when going to Burd-Fletcher, shipping clerk told me to back down the road that I would be docking into and that made for a quite simple sight-side back (docks 8-11).

Buying used truck, would this dyno report alarm you?
