    Being the loud one usually, and never staying at Pilots or Loves, I really hadn't noticed :)

    But seriously, I'm about 50/50 on that. Except for bathrooms, food, and showers, its about the same once the blinds are up and the reefer goes on hi-speed. Last night was special since the unit was off.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    I had to fill out that I damaged a trailer door when I got to the yard. The dock they assigned me in Carson, CA yesterday had a post to the right. I didn't think it made contact when I backed in but when I pulled out to close the doors I saw the damage. . Those trailer tails make them doors stick out like Alfalfa's ears and it bent the inner metal panel and popped the lower door seal out of place. Was able to still close the doors. Post didn't even have a scuff mark.

    Ah ok. You're off of Lee Trevino somewhere. James Watt or Goodyear?

    They tend to run Laredo hours here too.

    At least you're not in a bad part of town. Closer to central or the northeast I wouldn't want to park overnight.
