    Had a nice talk with broker today... But why do I get the impression every time I talk to brokers that they are "rascals"...? that may not be the best word to describe... but my English vocabulary is kinda poor...
    He wanted to know about my experience in my company, this and that... Asked me where I wanted to go after empty in Houston.... I told him to talk to my dispatcher as she might have plans for me... I am just a company driver... not an O/O...:biggrin_2559:

    @Rocks yes you can park there, just use some common sense how you park. The Wendy's out front has that free ice I was telling you about a while back

    Hey... when you have difficulty falling asleep, take 5 mg of Melatonin.... find that at Walmart or any drug store...
    It has no known side effects... That relaxes the muscles and puts you to sleep right away for hrs...
    I take 1 mg when I need... fall asleep in 12 mins and it's good for 6 hrs... :biggrin_25518:

    Some of the trailer tires in my trailer here had bald spots.... Those were due to trailer alignment.... Company said they fixed the week I was there for PM... but I still find some spots wearing out sooner than the rest of the tire...
    And one time, as I was pulling trailer out of a dock.... the ground was in a decline towards the dock and it was covered with thick layer of ice... water that froze up (it was winter), I didn't go to the back of the trailer to check on anything cause it was dark and very VERY slippery and very tight.... :biggrin_2552: But when I pulled the trailer out of there, first I felt some resistance, and when I gave it power, I heard a CLUNK... sound and when I took a look, two of the trailer tires had big spots where layers of rubber were missing... :biggrin_2554: Unfortunately I didn't go back to docking area with a camera to see if the pieces of tire rubber were there, stuck in the ice... :biggrin_25513: And my company suggested I had dragged those tires.... :biggrin_2552: but I didn't... :biggrin_25513:

    Q: How can you tell a broker is lying?
    A: Their lips are moving.

    Similar situation this past winter. Leaving a tank wash in Lansing, IL. Checked everything, all was good. Take off. Didn't quite realize the brakes were frozen, Uuugghh. I dragged them across the snow packed lot. They slid quite well. Got out onto 80/94 where there was a fine mist goin on. Tires slid quite well there too. Then as the road dried up a little (2 miles down the road) the mist I was kicking up was replaced by smoke. This was around 10pm, nobody was out. About 3 miles away, I figured it out. Oh well.

    Sometimes stuff just works that way.

    I have seen from 1 mg all the way to 200 mg... and seems the price varies between $5.00 to $10.00 approximately... Have seen it in pills and liquid... here is a link to check them out... https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=melatonin&tbm=shop
