Ya I can't stand stopping here and I'm in the last spot pulling out so I get to listin to all the trucks pull out all night sometimes it sucks having a long truck/trailer

 

I went in there with a 53' 3 axle rgn, which has the rear axle at the very back of the trailer....talk about sticking out with the guys running vans etc with the tandems slid forward!
Last time I went in there was @8yrs ago, and it will be another 8yrs before I make that mistake again....

Ya I'm 76ft long I'm sticking out atleast 10ft or more than everyone else

I just didn't want to be down by Mexico a mile from the border spending the night!!!!

 

C'mon wheres your sense of adventure?

 

Dont blame ye there mate!
I came down US90 etc from Fort Stockton to Eagle Pass today, and wont even stop to let the dog out! lol
I am also @76' with the trailer closed, so know the feeling all too well.

I wont stop at the wide spots on US90 etc, when the GPS shows the war zone close by the road!
Looking forward to the guys in Laredo unloading this truck tomorrow.
It only has reverse gear, and is backed onto the trailer (automatic tranny).
The place where I loaded it at also removed the good batteries and installed 2 dead ones so it could be jumped!
How the tables get turned around huh?
Tried telling the idiot who answered the fone on Friday when I told him I'd be there on Monday with it, but between his ignorance, and being the FOURTH person I spoke to, to find one that spoke English, I thought screw 'em. Fun fun in the AM me thinks! And watch them try to make it my problem, right before I tell them they have 2 hrs to get it off my trailer or they pay detention.
