    Thanks for the heads up.....my tenitive plan was to get to the reciever (Mclane)around 3pm, park in their driveway till they open up at midnight.... that way I would reset my clock while unloading.... then LEAVE Atlanta before morning. I reload in Cleveland Tn at 13:00...... headed to Garner NC by noon on Tuesday.... can always hit a rest area for a nap...
    Maybe try an 8/2 split??? Lol or leave here at 5am... get to Atlanta even earlier..... hide out close to the reciever....ect ect.....
    Thought driving would be the challenging part of this job...little did I know its managing your time and finding parking thats the challenging part!!

    Open to suggestions...lol
     
    FatDaddy and Rocks Thank this.

    Yes. You just brought back some good memories of that place when I was a kid and my pop introduced me to that place. He used to do a lot of work in Cali and he brought me out on one of his business trips one time
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.

    My company claims weight savings of about 800 lbs when going super singles . All of our livestock trucks run them , and one trl has them . Its not a spread . Not that that has anything to do with what you are talking about other then weight saving .

    We have one trler that is hooked up to the air system that will put air in a tire that is low . Thats kinda crazy.lol. technology is great huh?


    I run a closed tandem Barrett pot and love it. I pulled a spread for two days and that whole dump valve bs drove me crazy... hahahah

    No way I would. I wouldn't dare work around cargo that, given the opportunity, would eat you!

    I have to be very honest here . I love this !
    Butt !!! You really have to have respect for what an animal of that size can do to you. That respect will make it work. Believe it or not they are sort of like dogs , and in that I mean that they can sort of sense your fear.
