    It’s legal in NV.

    And unfortunately yes, they have to be arranged in order of heaviest to lightest.

    Man, I still have my endorsements .. but.. um.. just anymore, nope. Too many yayhoos on the roads. Still wonder why y'all pull doubles. (<< oh yeah; you're younger, haha!)

    Company’s choice, not ours. Most drivers would rather pull longboxes.

    At least this way though I don’t have to drive some pig’s ragged out twin screw to do a linehaul run.
     
    Coover and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    Makes sense. I'll stick to my long boxes too, anymore.
    Any truth in the rumor they're gonna be building 33' ers? For Doubles?

    Like this? Last year, me pulling out of Brecksville,OH. Night shuttle was just not my cup of tea, so I went back to throwing cases with a food service company. Did routes for 2 years with Lipari before I took the shurrle.

    Pulling them across the Ohio turnpike is the easy part. Hooking them, that's a different story, LOL, I will take 2 pups over 2 longs any day.

    My truck isn't clean, but it's not gross. If my company provided armour all I'd clean it when were slow.

    I used to apply rain-x, but twice my truck went to Orlando for preventative maintenance they stole it.

    I do use empty boxes as trash cans in my truck though...

    I pay spend $20 on some basic cleaning supplies, and just send an hour cleaning my truck it'll pay for itself the first go :p

    Wonder if they'll get mad.
