    He's gotta be talking about the winding roads around Shasta, or Grant's pass.

    @7-UP this dont compare, but I hadn't got to tell you this one yet.

    * Boys, I'll shorten it as much as I can cause I dont expect ya'll to waste a bunch of time reading here, but I warn you. It's kinda of a 2 part story so to speak*

    Story time,

    Its was winter of 2007. I had a 97 model 9300 international, N14 and a 13 speed pulling a 48ft flatbed for a small outfit outta Wilmington, OH. It was the owner with 3 trucks and 3 or 4 flatbeds. Then it was me and 4 other owner ops leased on.

    The owner of the outfit farmed a sizable amount of ground with his 3 brothers, and he had the trucking deal of his on the side. I was on a dedicated run hauling coils from Franklin, OH to Rome, GA 3 rounds a week. Did it for a year straight pretty much. Well...this particular week my truck was down, accessory drive took a dump and my front cover was cracked. Had to order one.

    So in the mean time I took the bosses Peterbilt and a decent Fontaine aluminum flatbed and ran a load out to Kansas. Unloaded, reloaded in Missouri and headed for the house. Nice little out and back deal. The weather sucked pouring rain and cold, but not a big deal....or was it?

    That's when things started to go south. Salt, water, ice , snow. It takes a toll on bad trailer wiring. Yall know what I mean right?
