    That's as bad as my Columbia. Our trucks won't ever look like they belong.

    No they won't :) one day I hope to be able to get one of those big boy trucks. Well maybe just a big boy sleeper.

    Be careful. Every time I go home I get this nearly irresistible urge to break out the torches and cut the frame. Figure adding five feet will let me put a big sleeper on.

    You will see alot more than normal at the yard now because so many of us are running UPS out of Lousiville right now.
    That is why there is so many bobtails, Me included. And the long nights makes some of grumpy from lack of sleep.
     
    Battle Born and Truckin Juggalo Thank this.

    Think i might have seen your truck at the yard. And yes there seems to be a lot of trucks period at the yard. Was surprised to see all the vans there. The place is starting to look more like a dry box yard and less like a flatbed.

    Anyway, got my truck inspected. Now I just need to kill some time.

    I highly recommend crossing the river for famous Dave's bbq. Also the Mexican joint. Good food and even better margaritas. Plus it's a short walk. From the drivers lounge, go out the in gate like you are gonna cross over to the building orientation was in. But don't cross the street. Hook a right and it's down just past the statue of David. The Louisville slugger factory is in the way which is really cool if you are into baseball.

    I can never remember the name of it. But it's the first (maybe only) Mexican restaurant on the right as you walk into down town. It's on a corner just past the statue of David. Has a Spanish/mexican name.
