    Did one the day before yesterday. Picked up at Tidy Cat in King William, Virginia. They require you drop your trailer to get loaded. I was in such a hurry to get out I overshot the kingpin. Keep a few tools handy for just such a situation!

    Oh heck, if a Swift driver can get through the drive through of a bank, then getting through the McDonald's should be a piece of cake... :D :D :D
