    Hey Tucker it was probably that Swift driver that had his trailer parked on your property a while back. Those Swiftys are the best!

    Na, if it was a Swift, the guy would have backed into his grill, pretend nothing happened, then hauled ### :laughing-guffaw: (just kidding, we all know Swift can't back without 2 spotters)

    Give us an update @stungjoe

    Me, I delivered a load of toilet paper to Iowa State University, free high speed wifi there :)
    and a questiontive young unloader asking if I was headed back towards home, ugh, try explaining I'm not allowed near home for the next 19 days.

    Basically enjoying my transfer to the DFW area.

    While moving back home I had a blowout on my RV and it ripped the side skirting off. Taking it to the repair place tomorrow. Insurance said to just let them write an estimate and he'll cut a check..haha The insurance adjuster doesn't even come to look at it.

    Funny thing is I have to go back to Houston next week and do my old run to the big chemical plant. This time though I get a hotel room and an extra 25 bux a day per diem.

    I see brand new campers going out, and they blow a tire and ruin that little plastic skirt. Shake My Head LOL

    Plus, I thought you just quit, didn't know you could transfer, that's good.

    I thought I posted it or at least I thought about posting it..haha

    I did quit and they asked me if I wanted to fill in for a guy on sick leave so i am for the time being. Looks like he may be in for a long battle though. Not sure if it's a permanent deal yet. Anyway, I'm home and still making good money in a much more relaxed environment.

    The tire caught the tin flashing (I call it) and the plastic wheel well trim. Should be an easy fix. The problem is the tires they put on are at the extreme upper end of their load limits. They need 14 ply tires but they're too expensive to make mainstream.
