    I guess I was lucky gopher. That sheriff even came back this afternoon to see if I was getting taken care of by the company. So I think I found that one cop that isn't a dick...lol

    Thanks everyone for asking if I was ok. Wish the truck was in as good as shape as I am. But can't look back now. Tomorrow has new stories so ill just have to look ahead.

    But remember ABS doesn't do anything for momentum slides, even at slow speeds and your loaded the G force created by the turn can cause it to slide very easily, and when you tap your brakes by instinct you finish it off.
    Made it to Denver, finally they changed my del time to 0630 ,but when I called the place they said there open from 0730-1630 so I don't know well see

    I was vigilant all winter watching my trailers for such issues. I had one that would have caused me a problem but quickly got it fixed. Years of pulling doubles taught me
    to keep an eye on that tail in bad weather. If the trail starts coming around get off that brake.

    Drivers, remember that the Johnson Bar is your best friend on slick roads. It keeps that trailer behind you.
