    I’m still snail slow tarping and sometime securing depending on what it is. Have learned to get the tarp on and drive a bit and readdress a few areas if needed. I have been avoiding tarped loads during the heat. The last one I gassed out pretty bad. Lol. But sometimes it can’t be avoided.

    Have had loads take 6 or more hours to secure, pad and tarp. Thats what we do.

    Ehh, not sure yet. Either she burped the cooling system or I’m still loosing coolant, either way I have to top it off this morning. If I have to top it off tomorrow we got issues.

    Took these to get destroyed… seems wrong.
    Current load is copper sheets headed back to Texas but forgot to snap pics.

    Parked up in Vaughn, NM and this truckstop is so quiet you can hear everything settling hours after shutting down. Of course there are the trains.

    Destroyed? Isn't there some local terrorist organization that could use those?

    They should sell them. Like other military surplus.
