    I've done a 34 at the TA on 78, just east of the coops. It wasn't that bad and the gate was unmanned when I left.

    Thanks for answering the air-bag thing TruckerPete. Stuff happens.

    Figured the unit was a Carrier, didn't figure it was that new. Another reason for staying with what I sort of know, which is Thermo-King. I don't care to park next to a Carrier, but that's just my opinion from experience. They all break down, eventually.

    And has to be better than a 34 at the dusty 730 Truckstop on the 401, Cardinal, Ontario, Canada on a weekend when they close early and lock up on Sat night at 9pm. OMG! And we were told that since we were in Canada we had to stay an extra 2 hours due to their 36 hour reset rule!
