    I think they have finally realized, when you’re pulling two billboards down the road that say, if you run into us, sue us, we have lots of $$$$$$$$:confused::D

    You're exactly right. They made the decision 15 minutes after a state of emergency was put into place this morning.

    Even if that wasn't an issue, you would have about a 2" window to hit the pintle eye to get it connected.

    One of our guys did that, it took hooking the stay in place chains on his lead, and giving it a good yank. He got lucky and didn’t tear anything up doing that.
     
    DonRobbie, Bumper, dwells40 and 3 others Thank this.

    Well today was payday. Last week was the first full week of work. Drove a total of 1554 miles, which in my world means absolutely nothing. When I break the 2000 mile barrier, then it’s .75cpm with anything over 2000 miles. But, if anyone is counting, the 1554 miles came out to $1.286 per mile. The idea of working on a guaranteed salary is rather nice.
