    So I am parked at a Truckstop that is primarily frequented by our sweat pant wearing brethren. Why is it these Einsteins can’t drive around the parking lot without running into crap? I mean In Theory they are going slow enough and most of them have mirrors to look in and windshields to look out if. And they managed to get to the truck stop with the same trailer they just used to bash into some other guy?

    Then they get angry that I am taking up 2 spots wide and 2 spots long but I didn’t hit anything getting into.....

    This could be a long 4 days

    But maybe you can scale it right there? If you fit that is.

    No I am at the Morton Travel center and I have no permit to go anywhere - I have the booster down so I kinda stick out at 100’ long.

    It just a little scary for me and Zoe - all these trailers with sides on them scare the crap out of us. Need a a few 14 wides on either side so we can sleep comfortably

    I could except the D10 hasn’t been finished by the factory yet...

    They may load it at the factory instead of the yard in the picture

    Ritchy Bros has a yard down the side street you might be allowed to drop your wagon in. They are across 47 down past Menards.
