    They are in a hurry to get to DC to in hopes of getting the free joints that are supposedly gonna be passed out. If they don't get a free one then maybe they have one or twelve stashed away somewhere.

    I dread going near DC tomorrow, but it's the fastest way to get to Michigan with this ultra lightweight load of pool noodles

    Important note: when pre tripping a trailer, don't assume that just because there is a paper occupying the registration holder, that it's the registration itself.
    Got inspection in KY and turns out it was the maintenance sheet. Non moving citation. First ticket in more than 3 years. For anything.
    Funny this is, company asked me to find a fax and get a copy, so I found a fax and sent the number. 20 minutes later, nothing.
    "Just keep rolling, we can't find a copy of it to fax."
    Later that day,
    "We have a temporary registration we can send now, no rush. "

    Still headed to Miami. I should be unloaded by 3or so.

    Yep hubby had same problem but caught it before he left the yard. He has had 3 trailers brought in for updated inspection that needed to be done. But this was a first that papers were missing.

    Went to get ice, twice. Was told by motel guy he just cleaned it because it was making bad ice. Come back in 2 hours.
    I came back and he said he ordered the part, and started lecturing me about how it's a down economy and I didn't understand.
