    Only stick I'll be shaking is the one in muh basketball shorts while wearing a wife beater one sock pulled up the other down barefoot checking in at nestle hiding my teeth old man style saying iiiiisssss iiiiitttttt fiiinnnnaaalllltyyy loooaaaadddeeeedddd?

    I got the gist of it on my own.
    Like driving a pickup.

    Oh! I gotta put it in gear to go as I went rolling out of my parking spot.
    Feels like its dumping clutch everytime has a hop.

    I'm like shift stupid! Hop!
    There it goes.

    Can barely hear the Detroit engine.

    Thats a good run -- iirc you can pick early and deliver at 0600 instead of 0800


    edit: nevermind see you lost it...

    deadhead from somewhere above Cedar Rapids all the way to Waverly. taking a load from Waverly to tequila Oklahoma or something like that...it's a little bit south west of Siloam Springs Arkansas...approximately 800 miles on top of approximately 2800 miles plus a ton of Northeast PA and has map a good week...I love how the voice recognition handles Northeast pay at hazmat

    hopefully start next week with the dead head in the jopmo...get to pitchers in time for kickoff

    Breeny I have a method for lifting the handle on tandems without pulling muscles. it's too long to type out on a telephone keyboard but will do so this weekend on a real keyboard when I get to Joplin

    I've never pulled a muscle personally, but, I have scars and bruises on my arms from when the handle does suddenly release and my arms bang against the bottom of the trailer....

    I will try it here with the voice thingy...first, come to a slow soft stop and set only the tractor break. truck and trailer should be straight, and as level at ground as you can find.

    take a n 18 inch heavy duty bungee, like the kind they use for tarps...if they handle doesn't release with an easy pull use the strap.

    the strap won't release the handle but it will put pressure on the handle and then all you have to do is rock the truck...at least 68% of the time this trick works every time

    ^ Have the same scar (that metal edge right above just had to be sharp too). And I have used the bungy trick more than a few times -- can vouch it works as long as none of the linkages are broken.

    Panties work well too.

    Kinda odd pulling in with your boxers holding up the air lines at dollar general.


    Hi guys!


    So.

    Think I might get a scar certainly a concussion .

    Usually sleep head on passengers seat side.
    Switched it up and sleeping head behind drivers seat . out of habit I fling to the right head first.

    Face meets wall & net.

    Nice!

    Here I was thinking my ducking days were over. Think it was the old truck juju how dare you sleep in her instead of me!!!!

    Hey! I don't think she's as hot as you OK! That make you feel any better?
