    If one falls off and gets wrapped around the drive shaft it'll ruin somebodies day.

    I'm thinking day cab trailer delivery service. Boss says to go grab this tractor and grab this trailer from yard (or the rail yard) and take it to this spot.

    While not in the winter time I would not be too concerned with the small amount of rain that may get in the lines. Road grime would be more a concern. Trailers can tolerate some water, until it turns to ice.

    I said, I'll ride with you if can get me to the border
    The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter

    While it shows that you work with some lazy people, you can mitigate the potential problem during your pretrip. After your truck has built up a full charge of air, push the trailer supply valve in and step on the brake. This should blow out any water that may have entered the lines. Also, the trash, just sweep it out of the cab on the ground. After a few times, someone may notice all the trash and get a clue.

    I just received a text from one of the females of the species living deep inside the communist state.

    The local sheriff will not be enforcing the coomunist dictator governor's lock down order, and even said restaurants can open if they want.

    I had a friend that owned a gay bar in Weisbaden. He used to give those out at the door.
    Have you ever been to Germany, @Dave_in_AZ ?

    Well that is an interesting observation, because usually if you saw that, and did not have a friend code, it meant your ###.
