    Congrats on the promotion. I drove a side bay and bulk also for Coke.

    If you have any questions, ask.

    Be careful on the curves until you get use to it. Them trailers sit higher and have a higher center of gravity.

    The other difference is your sliding tandems to keep your load legal.

    Have fun!
