    I like chains. It's enough of a workout dragging them around and the binders. Tarps, one is fine anything above that, not a big fan. This load is drums. So it's easy to tarp, it's just stupid humid out.

    I sweat like a who're in church down there. Even last week in georgia. Only 75 degrees but 90% ..just breaking down my trailer, unloading the loader and putting chains and binders away, I sweated thru t-shirt and pants. Tarping sucks even more. I will never forget 101in Alabama and 100% humidity and tarping a lumber load. I drank 3 gallons of water and thought for sure it was my last day on earth. I've never been tortured before, but I'd imagine it would feel something like that

    Due to a smoker throwing out a lit cigarette out on a load of hay, there’s a truck fire,Misery 44 shut down 61ish to 70ish.

    Due to me and Mr McNally, Out of Springfield, we went from 360 to MM to old route 66 to Mo-k. I’m parked at Hoods while the hay burns.

    @Judge While you are tending the fire by remote, plot me a route for daughter; in rental car. Leaving Margaretville, AR; Friday (8/26) early, and to cross I 55 near Kennett on to Dyersburg, then south to Tupelo. Dyersburg on here OK. Just best to get to Dyersburg. She ain't afraid to drive hills and curves, just decent roadbed.
    If can, email to forktruk@yahoo.com

    I'm not certain how.....by accomplishing so much work, it creates so much other work???

    This is why I'm just the driver.

    Except I get sent to take care of a lot of the other work.

    I was getting light headed and had 6 water bottles, microwave rice, soy sauce.

    What trailer are pulling?

    Now it's almost too late to find parking, if it's like it was yesterday.
