    I carry a stainless steel straw just so I don't have to worry about paper... plus it works as a self-defense tool in a pinch.

    It’s all a conspiracy by big pipe cleaner to keep them in business as tobacco use has declined.


    well I dropped my container, preloaded an empty for the next guy. Went to the yard and grabbed this load a local loaded on Monday. Off to Pittsburg at 12’9” wide.

    The man with the plan in Washington asked if I could drop 4 sets on tarps off in Toledo after I deliver. He failed to mention I only had 1’ open on the front of the trailer. With these fancy new trailers I was able to strap them nice and secure. IMG_5833.jpeg IMG_5832.jpeg

    Oh yeah, I had my first dealings with the inspection line at the yard today. It looked pretty slow as I drove right past it and hooked up to my outbound trailer. If you don’t stop at the guard shack, drew is not going to chase you down. Next time I will give it a shot, maybe. Probably not unless I’m doing a reset and have time to kill.

    I usually refer to them as sissy sticks, but don't want to offend anyone. I usually toss any straws they stick in my togo bag in the trash anyway.
