    Light trailer in front? That's a death sentence.

    Oh HELL no...o_O

    Although I’ve had people think I’m crazy enough to do that because I know how to scale pups while supertruckers that think they do can’t. I’ve learned not to trust what my company prints on paper.

    @MACK E-6 so I've pulled doubles and triples, and towed both with a tractor hooked to wrecker. Now we joke about these guys saying they dont look in the mirrors. Well I will say this, Towing tractor trailer doubles/trips, rule of thumb is just glance in the mirrors to make sure everyone is there. What happens is you watch that pup skip around 90 feet behind you, you start to trying to straighten it out. This is were it goes bad. You can't stop it. It will get you all messed up and counter steering and wreck the whole dang thing. It's all a mind trick.

    So there you heard me say there is a point of looking in your mirrors to much.
    Proceed with the firing squad.

    Rutted asphalt is absolutely awful for that.

    Therefore, I defy anyone to try and convince me of any alleged “benefits” of asphalt vs concrete.

    You’re describing ‘The Rookie Wiggle.’ The more you try to counter the wiggle, the worse it gets. The best drivers are so good that you can’t tell it’s a set of doubles until you can see the sides.

    The world's largest parking lot does not have adult beverages. I thought I was in a dry county. Than I walked over to the Pilot and bingo.
    My dog got into a bag and grabbed my dooggy box with two 1/4 pound burger patties and than stole them out and ate them. While I was out. But he only weighs 14 pounds!!! 2019-08-08 20.55.46.jpg

    Once in a while Maumee UPS would get a light lead on a set of trips. They would get on the pike, some made it 7 miles to the first rest area, some made it 3 to a emergency pull off. I'm not aware of any that made it further and had us go out and switch them around.
