    15 Wheel & Rim stores per city block, not a bookstore in sight.

    Imagine if the population, govt, and police of Memphis got as motivated by the crime as they do about what they think they discover while mind reading! Will Memphis only improve once rigid ideological purity is enforced?

    Some people tolerate crime & some people can't tolerate one stray difference of opinion.

    Mind reading? What are you talking about?

    Oh you're talking about my post. I'm not reading his mind. He put it out there exactly what he wanted to convey, especially since he "didn't want to get banned." I watch what you say on here man. You should stick to trucking advice.

    I always hated delivering in Memphis, unfortunately where I lived at, my home loads were either Memphis or St Louis.

    Thankfully my Memphis drops were usually the same location and they always let me go park at my door the afternoon or evening before. Otherwise I’d park an hour or two away. Just glad you weren’t hurt or worse.

    I only dropped at one place there, and it was the same deal. They just let me in and park. Memphis was always the worst to me though.

    If you think that’s bad, don’t park it In Miami or surrounding.. That demographic would have taken everything, truck trailer and contents.

    Seriosly, 4 places Detroit (twice) Memphis and Chicago and West Palm Beach. These are places that concerned me sleeping overnight with no one else around. WPB is the only one where I actually slept with a huge hunting knife under my pillow.

    Another note, you’re probably better off just using a plastic seal. Padlocked or with a bolt on says you’re hiding something good!

    My last LG tv load had 2 bolts, steel cable and seal tape all over the doors. Seriously it was screaming something of value here. May just have put a neon sign in the back “Big Sceen TV load”

    Same with locking fuel caps..better to just not lock them.

    I've always said that about those LG loads. That cable they wrap around the bars is definitely a tattler. If I have a high dollar load, which is rare, I try to get it to where it needs to be ASAP.
