    Note to self. Skip owner op. Jump right to double booking, double brokering, double timing motor carrier. Profit.

    You wrap a bungee around it when you’re gonna back up over a curb or whatever, just keeps the tire from grabbing it off. Idk about all the super trucker parts, just makes sense rather than having to reinstall a flap more than a time or two a year.

    Someone had some hangers that squeeze the flaps without bolts. I can’t think of who. Uses a screwdriver to open it up n re set the flap.
    Place that makes plastic fenders that are “indestructible” but look awful.

    Yeah — bungees are kind of a must with gravel trains and dump/pups

    My comment about the determination and practice was more about being able to make tight groups. The snappy round, and how bad it noses up has "nearly" nothing to do with accuracy, especially with a short barrel, at the distances these handguns are fired. On the other hand, holding a small, short, light gun, and the anticipation of the recoil is what makes the difference, and with determination and enough practice... that can be cured.

    Speed shooting, or trying to make those tight group fast... That's another animal entirely. I've shot enough to know, that I'd need a lot more practice, and I'll still be nowhere near the same ball field, as the likes of Jerry Miculek.

    Truth— I’ve been helping haul, prep base and pour concrete paving — no where near as bad as asphalt, but pour days will remind a guy what getting old feels like
