    Parked at Siemens in Southaven, MS. Ended up 40 min late to my 8pm appointment thanks to traffic tie ups on 30 and 40.

    They're cool with us spending the night in the lot. Its gated and secure. They have a record of who comes in and out so litter bugs can be tracked down.

    Picked up our "bling bling" trailer as we call it. It's an odd man out trailer with extra marker lamps, diamond plate rear doors and 3 and 3 taillamps. Only one on the fleet.

    Most of our trailers are all white with the minimum required lamps. Not sure the story behind this trailer.

    Maybe the got a good deal on it?
    I decided to stub my toe and rip off the toenail at a shipper. Parked the whole rig at the local ER, It's been a fun night. Safety shut me down for 24. This is not going to be a profitable week for me.

    I'm thinking maybe it's an anniversary trailer. Maybe 10 years in business or something.

    They usually buy trailers a dozen at a time. Cookie cutter trailers like everyone. Only our trucks come in different colors, lol. They just bought several brand new double decker trailers for the customers that request them. The ones we had were really showing their age.

    We haul for Siemens and Electrolux so much they ought to wrap some of the trailers and get some advertising kickbacks, lol.
