    Nice seeing you this morning. As I was leaving, my reload came over the QC. I had to load in Opa-Locka, 8 miles south of where we were, in the morning, I went back home.

    A fulfilling chat as always JB. I didn't get a reload for almost 3hrs. 14 was well eaten away by then so had to shut down. My cousin swung by with lunch while I was waiting to unload so that was another high point to the day.
     
    JohnBoy and 4mer trucker Thank this.

    We have one regular customer where you WILL drag the trailer skirts and depending on your angle of attack, the landing gear and reefer fuel tank will touch down too.

    Sounds and feels much scarier than it looks.

    I believe the one in Perth Amboy, NJ is a Steve McQueen-level skirt spreader as well.

    It was folded under much worse while heading down the ramp than it appears in the pic. No wonder so many of them are bent and broken.
     
    Barn Door Bill Thanks this.

    Had a chance to meet @JohnBoy at the yard today. Good to talk with him. Hope the truck gets fixed and he gets headed for NW.
