    For the most part, you are supposed to leave the trailer completely empty.
    The exceptions are if they used some of our dunnage, then you are supposed to leave the exact number of boards that are on the load, so that when you are mt, you will not have too many and they will have what they need.

    Some places, they kinda of tarp and secure it, so in those cases you leave the tarps and number of straps and number of bungies.

    I am glad that the qualcom message came out on Thursday from John Compens telling the drivers to quit leaving junk.

    The driver that will leave the trailer with problems is the same driver that will take shortcuts on his securements.

    We do not need those drivers at Maverick!:biggrin_25513:

    I experienced something this week that I had not experienced since I was stationed in Puerto Rico........FIRE ANTS! I was in NC and chose to do my tarp in the grass instead of in the street where I could get hit by a car...big mistake. They made it all the way up to my knee on my left leg before they started biting me. I finished that tarp and did the other one in the street...it was safer....lol

    They killed a big nest of them a while back just outside the drivers lounge here in NLR. I've had them in my yard. As a rule, if it bites, Arkansas has it.

Went to lipstick Ohio picked up to Evansville Indiana back to Gary then to Louisville back to Gary to Greenberg Indiana. Did that three times in a row made it home Friday 15 min. to spare. Well leave on Sunday going back to Greensburg Indiana for Monday delivery.

    We have so many fire ants in Northern Miss that it ain't funny. Every time you think you've got a mound knocked down then up pops another one 2 feet away. They have been particularly bad this Spring so far due to the wet winter I guess. They seem to have a more potent sting too this year. Been bitten by quite a few while doing some weed eating in the yard and they really have some bite to them.
