    you know, honestly......we dry van people are lazy enough and have the reputation that is well deserved without some GUY coming around here and whining about having to pull the bar to slide the tandems. I mean, really.
    That said, it is kinda cool.

    Currently working as a yard dog with a regular daycab.
    And most of the tandems I slide have the air valve.
    Brings my whining to new heights. ;)

    Why I left my last job. The worn out, junk equipment.
    Nice driver at a paper mill I went to let me borrow one of these:
    How It Works
    It worked. Keeps spring pressure on the handle while you rock the trailer.

    ZOMG

    JESUS

    I trimmed the palms. I don't know why the palm branches have to have teeth like a great white shark.

    Blood is running.

    Then Pirate Kitty comes out of the Mesquite Trees and spits on the ground and hisses at the neighbors, and is like, " ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?????"

    Then all the neighbors are fist pumping going,
    " PIE - RATE "
    " PIE - RATE "
    " PIE - RATE "

    Pair of vice grip pliers are cheaper and work well when the handle is missing.

    Hmmm. I take the sliding tandems over the spread axle.
    If the pavement is above slightly bumpy (or wavy), you ain't exactly sure where the trailer is gonna go backing a corner.

    And then we sheepishly come out from behind the house and reply.......
    "We are gratefully entertained, may we have another!"
