    With all that working out, I don't see that happening.

    Matter of fact I got sent to the purgatory yard to wait when I checked in at the Pilgrim. I had bought a set of shocks on my way to get the truck this afternoon and put the 4 drive shocks on before I left. Huge improvement in the ride just doing that, and with the trailer empty no less. Just got done putting the steer shocks on and still waiting. At least I ought to have been active enough this afternoon to catch a little nap before taking off later. Did the shocks with hand tools by the way. Fortunately the fasteners weren't too crusty.

    Just for kicks, and in the theme of Pilgrim's Pride, here's a picture of the back of the founder's head in Pittsburg, TX. Not sure if he's shunning the drivers waiting at the dock, or glaring at the traffic going by on 271.

    An illegally parked Werner truck is about to get towed here at the Joplin Love's. They've asked him to move twice.

    So, did you do a franchise with Admin on that? How much are they gonna be? Do they come in different colors? How about different styles?:biggrin_2559:

    Everybody is always raging on Cali, (including me.) But really, it is darn near as bad most anywhere else. Different? Yes, of course. But you will still have the nut cases, the crooked politicians, and people who just plain have their heads up their arses. You still have gangs and drug problems, anywhere that I have ever been. You still have the illegal aliens from one country or another that band together and aw shoot, you get what I'm saying, I'm sure.:biggrin_25511:

    Oh yeah. We haul out of South Carolina all the time. We pick up rolls of the fabric they manufacturer air bags out of from multiple locations long interstate 85 and haul them back to El Paso. There's an airbag manufacturing plant in Chihuahua.

    Greenville, Gaffney and Blacksburg. Then we also pick up in a town just south of the NC line called Cheraw.

    Empty out in Atlanta we either go north to pick up those loads or south to Warner Robins, GA to haul glass beer bottles to Pennsylvania.
