    Whenever that happens to me, it's always a crap trailer ... never a nice shiny new one ... anyone else notice that 15**** trailers are now making their way into the fleet. Saw one in SLC last week.

    When I was runnin solo OTR I picked up a crappy old 5 series trailer thinking "no big deal, I'm just going 10 miles down the road for a drop and hook". Seven days later I was still attached to that trailer. For an entire week every load I took was supposed to be drop and hook but turned into live load/unload. I was beginning to think that I would never drop it because I couldn't even count on dropping it when the ppln said it was a drop.

    skipped the number 14 due to they consider those as 14 footers.

    Lordsburg, NM. So sick of these winds. About 10 days ago when I was down here, 25mph with gusts out of the SW. Today, the same, and from the weather forecast, all the way to Phoenix. Then when I shift directions on Monday and head East, the winds are also shifting, out of the NE. Just can not get out of them.

    Morris, IL at TA.

    The last 'load' I got was to move my mt to Costco after delivering a live unload in Bradley.
    At least I don't have to fight for parking.

    The 14xxxx with the old graphics are the 14 footers. I believe those are being renumbered into the 4xxxxx series.

    toledo or. went to pilot in brooks to wait for a preplan. of course got one when getting something to eat. sent me to safewayin clackamas for my mt and drove back to same pilot for fuel since i only had 1/4 tank. got here in toledo with one minute to spare. do my sleep break here and pick load up in the morning. on my way here, a car had just overturned into ditch on hwy 101(didnt see it happen) so pulled over to see if they needed help. was about 6 guys helping, so after making sure authorities were called, and lucky they were not hurt seriously, i left since my trailer was partially in lane

    Coming to you live from Lancaster terminal...

    Dropped my Walmart load in Pauls Valley then picked up a Dollar Tree load.
    I was invited to join the Dollar Tree dedicated account out of Oklahoma and I'm seriously considering doing it.
