    Skateboardman, the RGN I pull has an 18" kingpin and the flats have a 36. Also the closed axles RGN turns way different then a spread flat or step even when not using the dump for the rear axle.
    Also yes everybody that was nose in pretty much 53' trailers with tandems slid up. If the backed in they would leave lots of room in the aisle for others to back in and get out. I agree with the courtesy deal but why do it when its going to screw somebody else? Maybe to many dont realize its screwing the driver across the aisle from them or the guy next to them.

    Well got lded. and made it to Monteagle.. 3/4 of the way up the hill and I hear boom. Great blew out a tire.
    Found out it was on the inside of the last axle of the trl.
    Milskired, 3 of your partners in crime are parked down from me. They have cotton pickers on.
    There is also a Mid Seven trk. here. Western star. Not as good of shape as SHC's star though.
    If I see him in the morning I'll ask where are your new Boyd door signs..

    This is the first time I almost got my hood removed. He was inches from my truck. Idiot.

    I guess this was his first day pulling a trailer.

    I saw that, thanks! Think it's the place we could get blades into aswell, if that is the overpass you have to ramp if a little high?
    I ended up coming up to the rest area North of Sioux Falls, nice n quiet!

    Yep same exit.. Glad it worked out ok for you.
    Same ramp if going south and then east on 18, if you setup wrong on the ramp, You ended up steering the trl. instead of leaving it in auto steer..

    Passinthru, they are probably heading to GA. They are starting to pump those out in DM.

    If your pulling a flat you'll most likely load soda ash out of here. There is also some pipe moving as well. If I wasn't headed back to Houston tomorrow I would buy you a cup of coffee when you got here.

    Terrell,TX T/A for the night...catching up. Made the deliveries yesterday and final this am. Stepped backward off the stepdeck pulling tarp off at stop #2 yesterday, so made quick report to dispatch so I could finish the run. Spent the day today after final doing paperwork, calling corporate and at the clinic getting pics to make sure nothing "seriously" damaged. Return to work without restrictions ....bruised the heel, so just need to take some pain reliever and be careful with foot. Luckily, since December coming back out, I've lost 34 pounds, so there was less to hit the floor with. :D

    Get load sometime tomorrow..not sure what, missed out on an Oregon run because I was at the clinic... oh well.
