    Update: Returned this morning to the WalMart DC. Trailer still isn't ready. Shipping clerk has no idea when it will be ready. "Not even sure it'll be ready today."

    Sent a message via Edna to HQ informing them of the situation. Just got a new load assignment for another trailer that's ready to go. So all's well that ends well.

    Had a deer come running full speed out of the woods and up under the back of my trailer between the tandems and bumper and promptly exploded when hit with the bumper at 71 mph.

    That's impressive preparation, I am sure it has saved you numerous times. it interesting to read on this forum that some drivers appear to carry very little in the way of tools. Your Marine/Eagle Scout backgrounds serve you well!
