    The neighborhood behind ours has a huge Octoberfest!!! Estimated 10,000 people there today. Sausage and beer is like peanut butter and jelly, they just go together.

    Trism...haven't heard that name in a while. They were good at trashing open deck rates prior to going broke.

    Well I was there when it was PST. working out of Davenport yard. Where Jim Hawk is now.
    Stuck it out all the way to the end..
    Only happy thing about them closing it got me out of pulling one of the 13 axle setups.
    Then 4 years I go and buy one.:biggrin_25513:

    I figured you would be heavy, but not that heavy. I was thinking of a stretch at one point, I know they are heavy so I thought my infrequent use of the stretch feature would outweigh the frequency of me hauling heavy. I could probably do it, but I would have to always drag my 8th axle around to make it work. With full tanks (300 gal) on 7 axles I'm 45k empty.
