I just bumped the dock. I did the usual 45 maneuver. Too much more and I have to open my door, sometimes put my foot out on the step, Cant twist my back, it can be a problem sometimes, while trying to be ready to push clutch in, while watching the trailer next to me. I had a real workout the other day in Miami. Delivery and P/U. The delivery was so tight, had to jack it just right, then drop trailer with Tractor at an angle. Needed to grease fifth wheel anyways. P/U had Me turning around twice, backing into tight spots, then into dock. Then when finally got Loaded, I was so excited, I pulled out, to seal it, and slide axles. That’s when I realized I pulled out the wrong way, and was facing the entrance only Gate. So I had to blindside into a 2 spot dock space, (made it easy) to turn around, and get pointed in the right direction!!
What if it Snows?

Headed from Indy to Charlotte. 600 miles, got 19 hrs. I think I can make it. Sleep good tonight with the Truck off. Never did see all the Traffic that I expected. A couple Campers w/o lights. A boat and a Uhaul blow out tires, The usual. But not a lot of Travelers. And not many Trucks. Plenty of Parking spots. Just happy to miss all the weather events going on.

Doesn’t smoke like it’s on fire going down the road as some I’ve seen.
Last parked regen was 27 minutes, then 5 days before that was 42, then a around the first of last month was 45 minutes.
I’m figuring Nox Sensor, they’ll get it figured out.
Gotta wait til after 8 to call about swapping tags, I don’t see the point of paying 1750/year for that one to sit parked, now it’s just me running, other guy that was running with me moved back to Oklahoma.
So sold the old international, just got the 2 trucks, other trailer was leased so I turned it back in.
Added KW back to commercial insurance policy Friday, but hadn’t made up mind about Apportioned tags, it’s got Arkansas tags, good anywhere in the state, if you go out of state, you gotta buy trip permits.
Which I’ve done, but they’re only good for 72 hours, some states are ridiculous on prices.
Mo$21(cheapest I’ve found) KS($75)
TN($130) MS($25)Rideandrepair, Bud A., Speed_Drums and 7 others Thank this.
