    You never know. One time I took a load to Farmington Nm. Because I didn't want to sit the weekend. Anyway I was unloading in Farmington, my coordinator paged me and he said there was a load right there in Farmington going to Denver.

    I loaded up went to Denver and was getting unloaded. I told the guy on the forklift that I lived in Billings and was going to bounce home when empty. The forklift guy said that half of my load was going to Billings.

    They captured my truck, I waited around a few hours while they finished the rest of my load. Then headed home to Billings.

    You never know, sometimes it works out.

    Best way to patch a tarp in winter? My gorilla tape won't stick right now lol.

    Also I'm trying to install a signal extender to my trailer. From the pig tail is there a wire that does constantly power supply when key is on? Would the abs power line work?

    OK I have a second pig tail plug on the trailer. Is that for a dump axle? I hate chewing up the tires on turns.

    Be honest I hear it's not bad but I haven't yet.


    I wish Laredo was better place for us.

    Last week on that short load I got sick so just stayed at the job site instead of going home for the night and rising giving the baby my cold. . I put my long johns on so I didn't have to idle the truck. it was #### cold in lakeland.

    The tarps mercer sells are cheap cause they gotta keep prices down for all the guys starting out with nothing. Think of them as a starter set that got you going When they become so ragged you can't use them, get a good set from someone like tarp city. Twice the cost but much better quality and will last much longer.

    Yeah, that was essentially my plan. I want to get a good 2 or 3 piece set with the flaps. I have 4 of the cheap Mercer ones, but they don't have flaps and I hate having that much extra tarp, it looks ugly.
