    make sure you do a trailer swap micro. List all the defects like tarps and lights and anything else you can find.
    A holes like that should be fired!!! When I do a swap I keep everything that I'm not using on the load.

    that's a loaded question. What's the whole trucking experience you want to be like me start out in a B 61 mack. Manual steering, spring ride, two sticks, bias tires, poor heat, no air-conditioning, 185 hp, 28 inch sleeper box, spring ride seat, and 1 AM radio.

    Now that was trucking. And you can have it. I like to say my new tractor so sissified I had to go buy a summer dress and a box of tampons to drive it. To me that's the whole trucking experience.

    I had to go to Door 178. It was pretty slow around there it seemed, not too much dust. That was my first time at that AK. I find it interesting that all the AK's have PPE requirements, but each one is a little different. I just wear it all and I know I'm good!

    LOL!!!
    usually ######## lie #1 will be "sure my tarps are good"

    I got burned 3 (yes.... three, tres, III) times before that one hit home, refused a swap once because the driver didn't want to swap tarps. even pulled the tarps off a preload once and used my own. (Bennettshitholeville. SC)

    Oh. I take it that the coil must've been a wrapped coil then? At least it wasn't too busy, that place is a nightmare most times.
