    Wallens truck got smashed at a receiver. People can't back for #### and don't use common sense to get out and look either. Even easy spots at truck stops you can see more than one driver attempt to back in and fail then a spread axle tarp stretcher will come in and back her straight in. I've had my mirror clipped before as well. A van or reefer driver should be able to back in almost anywhere. I'm not the best but get the job done most of the time even if I have to goal or pull up a bunch. Alot of times I think to myself where did these guys train or get schooling at. Have no idea of set up or what the back end of their trl is doing with the inputs they put in.

    Yea. Not saying im the best at it since i just started but i think about what i wanna do before i do it. If i have the space an no one is near an i cud do just a straight line back i won't cuz i want the practice. If its a really tight spot i goal alot. Still learning differnt set ups. Cuz some of the time you dont have the room to set up the way roehl wants you too. But i get goal alot tho. Better to be safe then sorry.

    Couldn't get into Jordan, I tried the first two books though. I read a lot, and I do enjoy the fantasy sci fi genres.

    Well if you like cop thrillers, Jon Sandford has a a series of "Prey" books with the main character Lucas Davenport. They take place in Minnesota. They are easy fun reads what I call beach, or plane books.

    No parking at the Neelys Landing Facility. You will pass a small truck stop on the way there. Check the routing on this one. I went to that one from Green Bay also. They had me on IL-3 going in and it put me on the wrong side of the river with no bridge to cross! I actually crossed the river in Chester, IL and it put me on MO-51. The bridge is a little on the narrow side but trucks are allowed on it. My apologies on the video post. Maybe I will ask the OP to make it available for mobile. The song was "Brothers Of The Highway" by George Strait. If you have ever heard it before then you will know why I said it tells our story. Maybe the best dedication to Drivers I have heard.
