    Uhoh…where are you at in Laredo? Are you packing? There’s a few extra wide shoulders on the service roads and big road. If you are in the industrial park, you should be okay. If you are at one of those little funky junkyard forwarders, be cautious.

    Always is the answer to the first question.
    I'm literally right outside the gate of the forwarder. They are in an industrial park though. It is what it is. I'm not going to find parking anywhere this time of day. I hate days like this. Hurry up and get here....to wait 5 hours to get loaded. Grrr.

    Edit: we've had 2 trucks that have had their tarps stolen from here. They were at the truckstop though. Still, this place is an utter sh.ithole! Mine are in my side boxes. I'm going to buy some padlocks for them when I get home. For occasions such as this.

    Good deal. You can’t depend on the law in certain places. But everyone who isn’t at the truck stops will be in and around the industrial park. Usually a safe(r) area. I was thinking that you may be in one of those crappy places past, at, near or southeast of where 35 ends.

    If your castle gets breached, don’t be nice. Don’t speak. Handle your business. Buenas noches.

    Anyone else remember the Twilight Zone episode. "To Serve Man." Love that one.

    May I recommend something like this.

    The nice thing about those is you can throw a few in your pockets and when your gun goes dry, just pull it off and slap a new one on. Ran them at quite a few classes and courses. Works really well...and cheap.

    Edit: also, if you run a plate carrier, you can usually fit 2 in a mag pouch.

    I don't mind yellow. It just seems like theres too many black or red trucks for my liking. I had a black one but never again.
