    I have pullred reefers, dry vans, hoppers and now flatbeds.

    Have had a couple of those 4-hours to get loaded or unloaded for one reason or another.

    Biggest difference why it doesn't bother me, they talk to you and they are nice. I have been invited to company BBQ's, asked if I wanted something from McD's, given something to drink many times and even offered a beer (declined that one).

    Welcome to the world as it should be. And nice look set-up.
     
    Winchester Magnum Thanks this.

    Hey Win Mag, welcome to the club. Those are good folks there where you loaded those spreaders. Nice as can be, if off the beaten path a bit. What dealer did you get your step from and how much did it run, if you don't mind me asking. You can PM the info if you want.
     
    Winchester Magnum Thanks this.

    Superior trailers sales. Was supposed to pick it up in Oklahomo, but ended up going to Little Rock.

    You guys are right, implement dealers are happy to see ya and will unload as soon as ya show up. I feel like I just walked back into 1975
     
    bullhaulerswife and Jfaulk99 Thank this.

    and if you pull a reefer you HAVE to wait. I've driven past the Wal-Mart Dist. center in Washington Court House, Ohio every day for the past 3 days. Always 20 reefers parked on the shoulder waiting to get in, sign me up for that.:biggrin_2559:
