<p>[QUOTE="SpiritWolf, post: 3978918, member: 89863"]You arnt the only one living vicariously. I have 4 or 5 trucker friends who are calling me daily for updates lol. </p><p>So.... Monday night, had a delivery in Tracy CA.... And while I was waiting, It hit me that I hadnt backed a trailer to a dock in almost 3.5 months! Now I was doing it in an unfamiliar truck! Talk about nerves! But the result? a PERFECT dock on the 1st try, didn't have to reposition at all! hehe.. Nice to know the skills haven't atrophied to much... </p><p>Also got a compliment on my truck from another driver... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25525.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25525:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I finished the title junk with CA late in the afternoon. So, all thats left is a couple of fax's, which I can do whenever. So i let dispatch know Im ready for a load.... </p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmmm.... Im thinking I may have to get my steers balanced. Running bobtail, she seams to have a "shudder" in the 50 to 60mph range. Im feeling it through the steering, and it bad enough to visibly shake the headlights. ;-/ under that range its there, but hardly noticeable... Over that, the shudder is gone, and she runs smooth as glass. Im looking at the Centramatic wheel balancers, but that would have to wait till I build up a bit of money in the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
