    I've got a good one back here in Dubuque. Company built in the old part of town so the roads are narrow with cars on each side. It's all residential around the plant so idiots don't know how to park within 12" of the curb. Getting there sucks, backing is a bigger pain. Pull straight past the drive way, back in off the street making a 90 (to your good side at least). Back over a curb with a step-deck so you can make the turn and not hit the building wall on your blind side. While watching that you don't hit one of the older curbs with your tractor wheels that are limestome and 1' tall. To top it off, the drive doesn't like up with the adjoining side street so it is impossible to correct and get a straight shot back it. Getting back out isn't tough swing wide and straddle the curb with one wheel on the sidewalk and the other in the street. lol.

    That is pretty much a sure bet any day but Friday. I really like this new "I saw a PAPE truck" game. Bonus point for anyone that spots a stretched out White 1985 Peterbilt COE. He is heading for GA, leaving on Monday.

    He used to have a "second" sleeper behind the cab that held his motorcycle and weight bench from his previous company when he was gone for long periods of time. The state of Iowa has a law that classifies this as a potential area for hauling cargo. This limits overall length to 65' so he had to take it off.
