    That's what I'm saying! It's a rough row to hoe, I'm telling you.

    On a side note, it was me who suggested to Broken Down 69er (months ago) that he should change his pseudonym:)

    Backing, any type of backing. Have been going around and round with a another driver about this very subject.

    Me, if I have no options and must back for any reason, I want to do it once, and only once, so if that is 250 feet, then thats what it is

    Other driver want to do a bunch of short backs, and 27 point turns, and thats the way everyone else needs to do it, or they are making unsafe maneuvers. and yes, it gets snitched.

    Well, not only that, but there are times you are trying to open or close one of them big heavy doors, and the wind catches it, and you go flying. Nothing at all like those skateboarders pulling those little old tarps around.:biggrin_25523::biggrin_2559:

    Well guys, I'm worn out. I actually had to slide my trailer tandems today.

    Do you know how hard it is to reach up underneath the rear outside rail and pull the air release knob for the locking pins?

    My hand got a little dirty!..

    Where's my bottle of aloe hand sanitizer? LOL

    I'm curious Mack you work fur a larger LTL carrier right? (I don't care which one) I'm guessing there are guys there who do the minimum then act like they work soooo hard. I realize that's everywhere but when I worked LTL it seemed like there was a larger percentage.
