    Ok, now that Im finally parked. It was a fustercluck there last night. They were backed up in the area where I load that 40ft angle, so I went out back to load the 20ft flat bar. They ended up not having any and "had to get it from another area" whatever that meant. So an hour and a half later Ive got the flat bar loaded with 5 on the back, 3 up front. The forklift chick tells me "you have to go back out front and get in line to go to door 2". Im sitting there going "no, I need to go wait at door to 2 because Ive been here for 2hrs", but I didn't wanna look like a @farmerjohn64 and do something wrong. So I roll back out and get behind 5 trucks. Another guy on a forklift comes by that. I know and he goes "uh you need to be at door 2, not here". I told him they need to inform that chick to stop telling drivers that.

    Finally in door 2, you have to be full PPE (hard hat, boots, vest) or wait in the truck. I opted to stay in the truck while they loaded me. I didn't realize that I waz only getting 1 bundle of that angle. So they loaded me, I rolled back out to the scale and thats when I realized my load was really f'ed.

    The solution was to strap it all down and use my clear tarp. It works well in these instances, its really lightweight and easy to put on and take off.

    You passed a Western driver with his whole flatbed trailer in the ditch and yet you still reference me LMAO freakin wee man, it’s not my fault I can reach the top shelf!

    Ya couldn’t see that big mf piece on the side of your trailer from your mirrors? I’m no pro but got #### I think that thing should’ve gone in the middle of the trailer!

    At first glance I thought the world got so tired of your single axle truck someone shot it with an RPG and it went through your hood but didn’t detonate; however, as I look closer I see that’s just Taz :D

    Kind words. But remember even a broken clock is right twice a day. I screw up only slightly less than I get it right some days.


    That reminds me I need to get some more hats made.
