remember a lot of people out there don’t pay for their own stuff. Especially tarps and straps. They toss them and get more. LolRuthless, God prefers Diesels and Dadetrucking305 Thank this. -
Loaded today for Monday delivery.Let me know if anything looks off on the way I tie down cargo because I’m definitely open to suggestions on how to do things.It’s been 2 years since I had my hotshot and tied any cargo down.

Bucket list is to do what your doing but out west……..
you seem to be doing fine…… are you leased on or running your own numbers?Dadetrucking305 Thanks this. -
Idk if the abs on your new wagon might run off the brake lights/ used to be when abs came out it ran off the center pole and a trailer hot line switch would cause the abs to #### up if it wasn’t powered.
I got a new wagon couple months ago, has a digital bluetooth adjustable programmable alarmable (and some other ####) Air scale on it, all powered by the center pole. (I ordered it with a dial indicator air gauge?)
Just a thought, see if abs works correctly with the hotline flipped?Cat sdp and Dadetrucking305 Thank this. -
Just a couple of the scratches that shippers and receivers have put on the new trailer in the last two weeks.Can’t imagine in a month from now.Definitely disappointing.I guess I have to realize it’s going to happen no matter how many times I tell these operators to please be careful.

I have to tell a story of the first (and only) brand new pickup truck I bought.
When we first got married we had paid off all our debt and we were both cheap skates and had always had used cars. Then one day for whatever dumb reason I decided I wanted a brand new truck and went down to the local Ford dealer and bought a brand new f150 in that Forrest green color that was real popular in the early 90s. It was bare bones, manual windows, manual trans, vinyl seats and floor etc. because we were cheapskates lol.
Anyhow… I remember being deathly afraid that truck was going to get scratched so I bought some rubber floor mats and put them in the bed. Even freaked out just hauling groceries from the store. It was hell on me worried it was going to get damaged. A darn truck lol. Well the good lord saved me several days after I had it in our possession, the Ford dealer called and said they needed some more money down as the bank was rejecting the loan. I asked how much?… he said $1000 dollars. I said hell no I’ll be right down to bring the truck back. I remember telling my wife I was so glad they called because I just need a good used truck that is already scratched up. Needless to say, when I showed up at the dealership they had “negotiated” with the bank and only needed $500. I said hell no the truck is yours lolol. By the time I walked out of there without the truck they were back to the original deal and I acted like I was pissed off and heartbroken over it and said nope I just can’t drive it now… y’all have tainted my experience… lolol. I acted like the original Karen hahaha. So #### happy. My wife was like I thought you really wanted that truck. I said hell naw. Let’s go
Anyhow, you know more are coming. Just remember how much money it is making you.
