    I’ll let @johndeere4020 and @jamespmack both in on a secret. Back in his prime, a guy from Arkansas would haul 60k coils across the scales with the chains loose. He could hit the brakes just right and bring the weight to the drives. Then ease into the throttle as the rear spread crosses and shift the weight perfectly. He called it the Razorback shuffle.

    He would set a pitcher of sweet tea on the doghouse and judge the momentum by the way the liquid was moving. Then he would find a pull off spot and tighten the 20 chains back up and ride.

    I'm good and moving on. I shouldn't have gotten ticked off. That's my fault.

    I'll be very clear and state that story 100% is true. What them guys used to do is true, and it still is going on. Dads dead, it can be talked about. I wouldn't name drop guys still alive or still doing it. Thats not allowed.

    Chances are you’ll have to drive through something you may not be particularly used to in your part of the world, even in the middle of summer....

    Snow!! :eek:

    I’m not planning on it thst wasn’t my meaning with that statement. I don’t pout and threaten to run away just for sympathy, I just pointed out that this is the reason I took a break, it just isn’t like it used to be around here.
    Thank you.
