    It's all fun and games until you pull a spread axle. I don't usually say something like that, but I can just vision the puff air spewing out from the front axle as the driver shows us a trick.

    Actually the ravens we had dumped the back axle. Everything settles against that first axle. When you consider 40,000 pounds going onto 4 tires that are fixing to be spun in place and then forced back... it's something I tell you.

    Well I'm not a rookie and I wasn't even close to your hood. I was just trying to get exactly straight in the spot before I pooped myself, so calm down.

    Edit: BTW you parked crooked.

    I'll turn mine off and park in under 5 if you angle your truck so crst doesnt whip around the corner and nose first into my spot.

    I see you are near San Antonio? This isn't about the topic or a jab against you.

    There is a truck stop near the Fl and Peterbuilt dealers with a run down motel next to it and a Churches chicken inside... Go in and get a shower. A good trucking story to tell your grandkids. :D

    So far I haven't hit anything with a truck except docks :)... If you exclude those lowhanging branches behind strip malls. Sometimes I can see leaves fall when I drive by. If it wasn't for those dumpsters sticking out so far there wouldn't even be that.
