    Did you bobtail to get Koch trailer or did you drop Millis trailer at DC? Will be odd the first time I see Millis pulling anything other than Millis trailer.

    Not quite th same thing, but if you ever pick up glass from Owens in Ringgold, VA you get to hook up to some random company's trailer, pull it off the door and drop it before hooking up to your own loaded that somebody else has dropped in the yard.

    Bobtailed in...and pulling a Koch trailer. I don't know if this is the way the trailer is supposed to work but if I turn off my engine at night, which I usually do, eventually the trailer knob will pop out and in the morning I need to charge the air back up.

    Anyway, at the pilot in Newnan, ga. Pull in at 1 in the afternoon. The place is packed...I think they need some more stops around Atlanta.

    Trying to get the tv working. How do I scan for local channels antenna wise. Can't figure out how to do it today.
     
    BazookaJoe Thanks this.

    I dropped a Smuckers load in Cartersville around noon on Friday. Wasn't planning on running anymore that day. Then around five got dispatched on the best buy thing. Nice to have something lined up for the morning but it has kind of been a pain in the butt load between my clock, that DC, the delivery at a mall, unloading taking just enough time to mess up my already very tight clock on getting this empty back to the dc today (isn't happening).

    Would have liked to have brought the empty back in daylight, maybe less congestion during the day? But alas, early morning dark it will be. Hopefully not raining.

    Means you have a air leak on the trailer if its losing air over night to the point of popping your brakes.

    That Pilot, like most of them, sucks.

    To scan for local channels, set your input to the antenna, then Settings > Channel > Auto Tuning.

    My reload out of Jersey was a broker load out of Elmwood Park. I swear this old warehouse looked like something out of a crime drama... Like one of those old abandoned warehouses.where they take the kidnap victim or where the mafia would take somebody to wax them. 20191125_150631.jpg 20191125_160729.jpg

    The apparently infamous 8055 was spotted at Miller in Trenton. Now why on Earth would an esteemed, Youtube-famous trainer wait until he was in the checkout line before he (or his student) strapped in their load and slid their tandems? Then he got mad because I was gonna go around him.

    And then, I remembered that with outbound dunnage I can bypass the long line and go out through the empty lane. So I'm sure he's Super Mad now!
