    Figured, I had one from there that went to Tulsa. Houston is kinda strange destination, they have lots of places that ship flat steel there. different kind of steel maybe. Anyway my truck is in the body shop until Wednesday afternoon, last hit now requires replacing the whole panel on the sleeper.

    no then they'll just hit your load which can often times be worth more then the truck pulling it. Also most truck stop parking spots cannot be backed out of. And most important you look like a jackarse when you nose it.

    I hate nose in parking as well. I was just being a smart###! Lol. If you can't back into a space you don't need to be driving a truck.

    vans can get away with nosing in much easier than open decks especially since they can turn the trailer much sharper backing out. Regardless it just looks lazy. AT had a good point about the load being damaged seeing as one of the first questions I was asked after calling in was is the load ok.

    I was suppose to be home tomorrow, instead I am in Indianapolis headed to CT. Oh well, at least it is a good paying load.
