    HA!!! :biggrin_2559:

    Yeah, I've always wanted a pet pig too. Problem is, I'm not sure I'd be able to control myself when I'm hungry.

    :biggrin_25524:

    I remember picking up some pork at the Smithfield plant in NC. While I was on the scale a couple of haulers came through full of pigs that were "ready". I remember one of them peeking out of the trailer and looking at me as if he KNEW that things were getting ready to go horribly wrong! Live pigs in one door, bacon, ham, sausage out the other.

    Fort Bridger WY. Bobtailed to an empty trailer in Ogden UT, discovered an upper marker light not working after I had already sent in a message requesting dispatch for the preplan. Plenty of other empty Swift trailers to choose from but I figured somebody's gotta get it fixed. So I sent the breakdown message informing them I'd be rolling daytime eastbound on I80 later TA in Ft Bridger etc, get loaded and start rolling. Beep! Take it to Salt Lake City terminal-- I was 83 miles from there already, nuh uh. Spend my fuel and time, no way. Sat for 3 hours at the TA here waiting for authorization to fix it, so did a load of laundry, fed the gooses a loaf of old bread, and decided to make it a 10 and finish the load tonight.

    Brighton indiana. Heading to vermont witha wopping 5000 pound load. Can't beat 1200 miles with that kind of weight. Also can anyone tell me when it is 70 degrees out with a good wind why so many people idle. All I hear is the trucks already thought about moving but everyone here is ideling.
