    As I sit and think back to… 25 years. Wait!! 26 years ago. 2000…. I was in a semi truck at this rinky dink farmers bins made for Bob trucks with flat floors that raised with hydraulics. I told him my truck wouldn’t fit. He blamed me because I was a “young driver” (18 at the time who worked driving a flatbed part time delivering instate for drivers who was coming in and on hometime or loading their trailer for them.)
    Anyway he said “I get trucks in here all the ###### time. I dunno why the #### you say you can’t fit!!” I said you want it in there. It’s going. I’ll show you.

    I made it in, rutted up where my steer tires slid in the edge of his field (grain bins where in field on a little homemade dirt trail in middle of fields) taking all the room I could, outside duals of trailer over the ditch, inside duals on the path, then on the circle of the bins i dragged the trailer over his auger type conveyer above the flighting breaking it.
    I jumped out and said yeah!! You’re right it fit!!
    We didn’t get unloaded. I never hauled for him again.
    There was no way possible a semi would fit there but sometimes people have to be shown the truth.

    Dude says the other guys (LTL) do it all the time.
    I said maybe they do, but I don't. Find another hole.
