    Unless you don't carry random pieces of lumber, or piping. Pretty sure most drivers have some sort of empty bottle around.

    Absolutely. That applies to more than just backing.

    This is how I avoid a high-hook - have the guy before me drop it nice and low, so I have to spend 20 minutes cranking low-gear 34k lbs. Awesomeness. WP_20160728_16_55_47_Pro.jpg

    Dunno, guy didn't sign the BOL that came with the split. A bright one for sure. I hope it slammed his frame when he pulled out.
