    Everything went fine. Well, not really. I'm not gonna get into a long drawn out explanation about what happened, let's just say all is well, a little sore, but ready to get back to work.

    Wonder what Mr Safety Director said to the Arnold driver for laying it down in his yard?

    Loading right now about 25 miles south of the house. Going to Danville Va for Friday morning. I have a whole load of used Walmart shopping carts, and no, they didn't come tumbling out the back of the trailer like in that YouTube video. Smart me used two straps and nailed a brace in the floor before I moved the truck.

    I wonder what this load pays, 1/3 of the trailer, 70 carts, that's it.
