    And this is why, I for one, don't train. It's really a company excuse to team drive..there is no training...and as I told you before, if the trucks going over the cliff, I'll be at the wheel...not in my bunk. :)

    What would Red Foreman say .
    Seriously it happens to all of us at some point. As was mentioned, you'll get in a routine after you do this enough with the new trailer. I sometimes pull a RGN , and I always leave my phone in the truck when loading or unloading. Seems any distraction gets me out of rhythm. Don't forget to replace those spare parts for if there is a next time.

    welcome to the club - everyone who does the job had done it - and most more than once.

    get a routine - don’t let anyone interrupt you. Sounds dumb - saves money!

    If he’s intimidated, he’s not a Man. If he’s telling you about trust issues, mommy issues, daddy issues, screams and cries when things don’t go his way, looking for a woman to “complete his life”, irresponsible and disrespectful, ruled by doubt, negativity and insecurities, guess what? He’s not a man.

    “But Six, the world’s a tough place and…”

    A Man will grow tougher. No crybabying, no pity parties, no blaming others for his life, no passing the buck, no excuses, no desires to ever be irresponsible. Period.

    Six back quiet.

    It’s kind of hard to disagree when you say that, but there’s people in both genders that have the superiority complex, not just women. A lot of women have high social intelligence, and can easily pickup on potential red flags, like bitterness- Bitterness equates to Baggage.
    I’m not saying your brother was in any way wrong, I’m just saying that a normal rejection reaction would just be to shrug and move on.

    Any of y’all ever run route 58 west out of Danville, Virginia back over to I-77…?

    Looks like I may end up there loading a Caterpillar dozer….

    Is there a normal reaction from being told by a midget that you are too short?

    i have and it was not good - I got 3 tickets and it cost me about $3k including the lawyer. The section over by 77 is length restricted to 65’ without a county permit. 9% marked grade with switch backs and 1000’ drops no shoulder.

    thank you for giving me flashbacks

    and I am sure the VA trooper is still f n pissed about me being on “his” road with my big trailer
