    Not the handle that is the issue. It's the tip.
    But I've got a buddy with mad steel working skills. We got this.

    Well, think of the distance when you put the handle all the way in. Its about the same. But we can cut off whatever we don't need.

    Got the air locker. Schneider made me trade it out for a sliding 5th wheel that doesn't exactly slide.....but I got one.

    Anyone taking bets, those are the faces the majority of drivers make when ever Swift, CRE, etc start trying to back in near them? Sheer terror, wide eyes...wait..maybe it's the drivers of said companies above who have that face when they see they have to back in to park......

    And the dick head 4 wheelers that wouldnt let u over, wouldve continued driving right on by, like nothing happened. Glad ur alright tho man , it is #### like that , it always happens so fast . They should called a cop and hand him sitting back about a couple hundred yards behind the tow truck and halfway into the lane , rather than some doofus in a vest u cant see him until hes almost roadkill... even worse is ur fellow truck drivers didnt call it out on the cb i bet.

    In the past I counted on No one to make room for me .

    I’m not quick enough to start grabbing gears downshifting with full Jakes engaged .

    I was usually hard on the brakes from the first detection of slowdown and in the mirrors plotting my escape.

    I hated running 39 when they were doing road work there a couple years ago

    2 skinnylanes of trucks running Balls out bumper to bumper with 1 out of 4 runs through there having a accident slowdown.
