    I didn't mean to say, or imply, that you could have done it better, or different... I think you made the best of a bad situation! err second best! My version of making the best of the situation would be to tell them to push them tight, block between them... or take them off and shove them up their backside. But, I have more freedom to do things like that because my trucking is more for fun, and getting my mind off of my "real" job. =)

    Mistype, meant to say the stache tries. Stache refers to Todd bunting, the tmc safety director

    I figured that. I know Todd pretty well. Just had never heard that nickname before.

    No one that I knew called him that during the time I was there, that I noticed anyway. But it is accurate. I think he waxed that thing. Wonder where his inspiration came from? '80s Tom Selleck, or maybe Sam Elliot? Lol

    You like taking the trouble to secure slinkies to only haul them 11 miles? I hope that mess pays well. o_O
