    It wont move with the landing gear stuck in the down position. Which if you read the posts carefully thats what his issues was but he is now dispatched on another trailer but out of hours.

    I never saw whee he freed the shoes, even after dropping the truck air and lowering the trailer. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think so.

    Never actually used my torch for that... I'm too chicken. Just keep busting out the tiny sledgehammer I use as a tire thumper or rocking back and forth

    This place just won’t let me leave.

    arrived this morning to get the new trailer that was loaded last night.

    but for some god forsaken reason...they won’t release the load until 6pm tonight.

    so I’m now sitting here while Walmart tries to figure out what the heck they want to do....
