    I think these wings on the back of the trailer
    are a great idea whose time should never come.
    I sure hope they don't equip all off their trailers
    with this POS....

    I just got to the consignee here in Arlington Tx.
    I got out and closed the wings. The light came on
    indicating they are in the closed position. I got back in my truck and the light started flashing which means im backing up with them open. I am not moving, the brakes are on. The light goes off
    and they are open again. Im not sure how this is wired into the trucks ECM but it isnt working as advertised.

    You have a short.. just unplug your pigtail when you go to back up... let the shop know about it so they can get it fixed..i saw one other guy with the same problem and unplugging the pigtail was a short term fix..

    just remember to plug it back in before leaving...

    Ok, I got ya. Maybe they should start equipping these trucks with Gerbil powered turbo drums.
    All ya need is a sack of sunflower seeds and your in business. When you want them to run at full speed just show them a picture of Al Gore...

    Not much freight in south Florida unless your pulling a reefer trailer. I used to run down that
    way a lot years ago. There is freight in central and north Florida but I dont know what this company
    hauls down there. I havent been to Florida with this company.

    I am down here in Ennis Tx, picking up a load of Barbeque Flavor Wood Chips. They sound delicious dont they? Its a broker load that delivers
    in Monroe La, tomorrow morning. Miami to Macon
    is a long deadhead. Whats the difference though you get paid empty or loaded. Another good reason not to own your own truck.
