    Dylan, don't worry about the trailer length. What ever it is, you will be able to adapt to it rather quickly.
    I get the feeling that you are a young fella thinking about getting into trucking some day. This forum really is a good place to get information. Don't worry about it, if some of us give you a bit of a hard time with your questions. Most of us are just joking when we do that. Truckers sort of have a twisted sense of humor!;)
    If you have a question, ask it. What better way is there to get information? You are welcome here.:yes2557:
     
    okiedokie Thanks this.

    There are alot of slang terms in trucking. You'll learn them as the the miles fly by. Good luck young man.
