    Yessir. But in all actuality, I hooked them, attached 1 airline and rolled up the landing gear one crank and pulled forward just enough to get my fat head around the corner to look in. Still not what I wanted to do at 3am.

    This is why I don't bother delivering to Jacksonville outside of their receiving hours.

    Anybody driving a 860 Volvo in Fort Pierce today around 6 PM? If so, I saw you go past the Holiday Inn on Okeechobee Boulevard.

    Ended up with a Greenville, Sc BH after dropping gatorade load then dropped my empty reefer at the AAA Cooper yard and got a load around the corner to Forrest City, Ar for this morning. Gotta go to the shop after unloading as my truck started leaking coolant. Think my tank is cracked, losing a gallon and a half a day now.

    Sign of the times, Richmond used to be not so bad. DM tries his best to keep me away from there. Going to need a new truck soon though with 473k on the clock and stuff keeps breaking lately.
