    The old one you just pulled straight out. No special skills required. This one is brand new. Will see today when I go hook back up to my trl for delivery to Sysco. Going to try and see if I can get it uncoupled. If I can’t, I’ll be headed back to the yard.
    LOL New to me anyway. I guess supposedly safer, but sure is a real PITA.

    No. The enhanced PITA features are due to the stupidity of some drivers.

    Referring to the rocket scientists that have an uncanny knack of dropping trailers on their nose?

    Hey it takes practice to drop a trailer on it's nose without getting the kingpin caught on the rear crossmember.

    Seems that the mechanic didn’t grease it like he should’ve and he had the tension too hard on it. It’s fixed now. Still a little stiff, but manageable.

    I’m sure that was an old post you quoted. Net pay is subjective. My net pay that’s being deposited tomorrow is 1176.08 on a gross of 1652.66, the gross has 12% right off the top going into my 401K, then my insurances and taxes. My last 3 years have averaged 82K per year.
