    Ok, so my camera on my phone is a bit fuxored, but here's how we loaded the mini ex this morning.

    20200204_082716_HDR.jpg

    Up on the gooseneck, spun it around and up onto the trailer from the side. The JD CTL came in on a rollback, so he just backes up to my trailer and pulled it right on.

    I threw chains, strapped the steel down and came up here to Abilene. Got to the drop off w which was "ok take the exit where the flying J is, go S to the train tracks, go right and we're down here on the side of the road, you can't miss us".

    Unloading consisted of me backing upto a pile of asphalt millings and them pulling the machines off the back lol.

    Life is hard. It's been like 55 at night and it's been raining..... pretty sure the world is coming to a end or sea levels are rising and I'll be under water in a few days. Six feet asl doesn't buy me much time.

    Assuming your about 6 foot tall, that nearly doubles your time before you need floatys.... Lol

    And almost 14 more for the truck. Before THAT one tries to float for you.

    If a big rig floats on water it's the same as dispatchers lying about pigs flying themselves.

    It has snowed in Abilene and Sweetwater. Everyone has #### their pants on I20 and turned it into a clusterF. Everyone bewildered by this white stuff. I engaged super trucker mode and drove around them *flexes muscles*

    The sheetrock plant actually shut down and is saying they aren't going to open until 2 now, previously it was 10am. I dont think they're gonna open at all. All over few inches of snow.
