    That DHL is my final stop I think. Don’t know the address but it’s the only one I can find near JFK so I’m gonna assume...

    All in all the biggest drop seems to be Kentucky. But the Port in NJ is gonna be the biggest cluster#### most likely...

    Is it steerable?

    I have a 2000 KW that came with one when new. It was sold to a Canadian owner and they removed it. It is all plumbed, just need to find out what brand/size it had (hopefully Kenworth can tell me what it came with originally).

    Closest i ever got to the port was a few blocks away at some frozen juice shipper with only 2 doors and took forever to load........those pier rat trucks........Idk how they pass inspection.

    Another fun time was shutting 33rd st down directly across from empire st building @morning rush cus some idiot dbl parked. Company pays parking tickets so we smiled and said no prob we don't pay em. Got like 9 and some very angry people who think they're better than you. Litteraly shut it down. I hated that job but my co driver was easy to get along with and didn't slack off

    That's good stuff right there!! I always thought it would be a cool job to work on a drill rig! I'm to old for it now. Wish I'd have known more about throwing chain back in my youth!! I'd have given being a Roughneck a go!
    Looks like a hard days work!!!

  10. Story time from this morning


    So I'm loaded and rolling heading off 99 to I-5. It's thick with fog, all the 4wheelers are playing racecar as usual.

    So I see a couple taiban running containers up ahead. So I decide I'll pass them and watch the fog on the front door.

    So. I'm rolling past #1 and see in my mirror a white car, can't make it out just yet. I'm doing a whopping 61mph in the Commie-fornia. Just as I clear #1 truck I wiggle and see the black push bar and multi antenna.

    Ohhhhhhh. CRAP!!!! IT'S A DOT Bear.
    Here I go, I'm gonna have to tell momma I got a speeding ticket. I've been doing so well. (cough cough @wore out) wish I had a judge
    Back to the story at hand.
    I ease over infront of the container guys. Here comes DOT rolling up to my tanks. I bump my cruise control down to 59.
    He moves to my seatbelt post. I bump the speed down to 56 mph.
    He crawls ever so. Slow to my driver door. I drop to 54mph.
    He then pulls away disappearing into the. Fog.

    Meanwhile all three of us are doing 54.

    Three volvos blow by us doing 68mph. But we are staying at 54. Lol
    Cantainer guys didn't pass me they stayed right with me. Our little convoy of. Slow.

    Dang bear flipping a Uturn and took off after a mustang that flew by doing 80 in the fog.

    Fun fun morning. But no ticket. Thank God.
