    Nah Larry I just want to be prepared for the next load of bricks! You get a better ride and fuel economy too by closing that gap the further up it is.

    Sounds logical, might want to look into that. Better ride huh, much better and I'll have to put a pillow up here in the seat. :biggrin_2559:

    Brian, I've got my 5th wheel set in the third hole on the rail and I am never over 12 G's on my steers. I think if it were to be much more forward there may be some clearance issues when turning & approaching steep driveways.

    Haha, you miss the ride of that Pete, Larry? Haha

    Thanks for that info Husker. I guess that's the center then, where mine is? I could go two front or two back.

    Sure Brian, I miss the old girl, and her ever collapsing seat. Now if I can just figure out why my back doesn't hurt anymore?


    Happy Trails

    Hey guys, hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving and if you're working be safe. My last stop wasn't willing to work me in today so I am going in beautiful Tacoma, WA until Friday morning. No big deal really, just gives me an excuse to lay around all day and watch football all day!

    All right, I'm going to C&S Wholesale in Chester, NY for a Saturday afternoon. I've had the pleasure of visiting C&S before, but never this location.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how high does Chester rank on the "Dawdle McPokey" scale?

    I used to deliver to C&S Chester a few times a week, USUALY they were fairly decent with me. But that could have been because i was in there a few times a week. The girl with the dark hair can be a bi**h, but the girl with the tattoos was always nice.

    Hey Mark, you had better bring a couple of good books to keep yourself occupied. Everytime I have gone there it has been a good test of my paitience. What part of NC do you live in catfish? We have a couple of guys that live around Raleigh and they don't seem to have a problem getting home.
