    Right just do your wait time at TA but be at NAB by 0600. They’re pretty cool and will take you early if they have room. Knock on wood, I’ve never had a bad experience there but the docking will test your skills. Be patient, slow and deliberate in your backing maneuvers.
    You got this.

    That worries me because I sometimes flail around like a 'tard in some docks that most people would consider easy. I'm slowly getting better but I ain't joking when I say that backing isn't my strong point. Since I can't see them from space, what's so tough about these docks? No room up front?

    So I had a weird couple days, and went down a mental path with responsibilities and upcoming tasks and whatnot that lead me to this post. I love y'all a ton but I'm no longer in this world. Thanks @keen98 for doing what you do. This thread belongs to you. Tomorrow presents a ton of fun that includes trailer maintenance instead of getting a 34. Whatever. I'll sacrifice a load in order to get home for my daughter's birthday. I feel like I'm no longer relevant, because the truth is, I'm not. I've done this before, I know. But this really is goodbye. @keen98 has you covered. I'm gonna grab some sleep and get this trailer fixed in the morning then work on paperwork. It feels weird to sign off, but it's way beyond time to do that. Be safe. Be good to each other. Help your fellow drivers. Keep your logs and records clean. Watch your six, keep the rubber side down. And as always, check your pins. It's been great getting to know all of you. Thanks for sharing your time with me and allowing me to get to know you. If you see a truck that looks like a Millis truck hauling a Landstar trailer, that might be me. And I still wave at you guys.

    Yes there is a wall that you will be fighting with in front of you. Just a hint, after you get inside the building you are docking into, slide your tandems all the way to the front. It will make life much easier on you.
