    The 1/2" out of the foot valve, and that split connector.

    The Parker store has brass quick connectors. Don’t know if they have a 3 way shaped like that one. Never saw one. I’m sure a normal T with a couple elbows could be made to work. I’m going to have to check mine now. Probably have the same fitting on mine. An assortment of quick connectors is good in a jam. I picked a couple of each size at Parker store in Baton Rouge. I went to pay, and they said, just take them, no charge. Good folks over there.

    yeah I checked back in with them at noon. Got confirmation no chance till 2000 tonight. I went on split sleeper as soon as I got back to the truck the first time at 0830. Since I can't deliver till tonight and they don't have a "public" restroom. I creeped back to a PFJ and went back in to sleeper. I'll end up with a 3/7 split. But still won't go anywhere tonight after delivery. As I know I won't get a new load till the morning. The PITA is going to be finding a place to park after I deliver. As I know everything is going to be full. I might go inside and pay for reserved parking. That way I know when I come back I'll have a spot.

    I can park on the street. But you can't use their restrooms. So while the "jug" would work for 1. It won't work for 2. lol

    It’s not that cold outside.
    Let’s finish tarping this load of dry kiln in the heatwave.

    Lots of places won’t let you deliver early...... and many carriers charge a service failure for early delivery.......

    I believe the earlier the better but I’m a nit wit......and wouldn’t cut it at a maga.

    well then, looks like you've got about 6 or so hours to find a place to drop a duce, deliver, park in the street, and you'll be ready to roll at 0600.
    Don't think about what is comfortable, think about what is possible and doable.

    Most of time when I hear go on and see about early drop, if they won’t accept it, I leave, go find a restaurant with parking to eat or truck stop, most of time I won’t even try early drop, I run same places and know which will take it or not.
