    This whole sitting for three or four hours in between deliveries is getting old pretty fast

    ####...you would think with many drops, they would come off fast.

    Oh ok, that’s typical, unfortunately. Other than that, I hope all is going well.

    Today officially marked one month of being out solo. Can honestly say that when I wake up in the mornings I don’t feel like I’m going to work. Really enjoying this new career choice
     
    Vic Firth, Gsm, Lonesome and 3 others Thank this.

    Pfffft not a big deal trailer hinges are cheap as long as the door isn’t damaged from hitting the ground.

    The breakdown guy basically said the same thing. Said that they would find a shop and have them take some hinges off the other door or something like that. But It being my first incident had me spooked
