    I was in Bear Island over in Virginia once, they immediately put big rolls onto my trailer.

    The customer was Dow Jones in Des Moines IA and they need that news print priority. I was loaded in 20 minutes.

    I think there were one driver there for 15 hours another there for 9 plus waiting. I felt bad for them. I still do.

    I made it to Des Moines straight through and it needed 15 minutes past appointment time to get me in there.

    Congas started running my road up and down towards St Louis all of a sudden. I don't know what is inside of them but figure someone built something big enough to load them every day going south.

    I seen a curtain in California. Half his load went out the left side. Left nothing of the curtain to be used after that. Bet his boss was happy.

    No. I didn't catch the name. The truck was a sleeper. Maroonish color. Lost it in the curve on the freeway interchange.

    Must have under-strapped it. Maybe no belly straps either. Lateral shifting is very uncommon when something is secured properly.

    i dont really have a picture from the back with the doors open with the tarp closed. but if you look at those arms on the rear the tops have a c cut out. on the inside of the rear frame there is a large metal disk that the cuts fit around. the base of the frames is a large screw adjusting the screw pulls the tarp tighter but pulling on the disk.

    the out side of the rear frame has doors attached like a regular van would. hinges and all. its not the same height as a van its a bit short so they look stubby.
