Ha! You
I will get her fixed at some point. Good thing is it is in the low 50's here in Jacsonville FL tonight. Should make it easy. Down to 7.3 mpg today. I think those hills in VA slapped it down yesterday. Plus, no aero on the trailer at all.

On the other hand, are we running out of trailer? I've gotten 3 so for that aren't aero. I'm on my 3rd "R" trailer in a row. Sometimes it feels like I'm pulling the Titanic. Occasionally, I see a deckhand come out and spray the hull with Pam and she eases up for a little while.Last edited by a moderator: Feb 22, 2014
Jarhed1964 Thanks this. -
The one I'm pulling is an R as well. I am praying that I can get rid of it asap. Until then, I will just attempt to compensate by slowing down.
On the subject of trailers, I had one the other day that had a sensor of some sort over the fuel dial. Where am I supposed to read the fuel level when that thing is on there?

If you're a stickler though, you can always stick the tank for a sense of how much fuel is in there. -
I tried to ditch mine in Sherman at Tyson. Planner told me the load was ready Thursday around noon. I leave my oh so comfy lazyboy and roll up there to find out that it won't be ready for 10 hours. I go up to the corner store and sat. When I went back in 10, those fools loaded that same stinking trailer I was trying to get rid of. Load went to Walmart in Ochelata, OK. I'm from Tulsa and I've never heard of the place. Guess I know where it is now! Got spoiled in Temple; was in and out in 2 hours. I was starting to wonder if the fine folks in Ochelata forgot about me. I was there I think 4+ hours!

jbizzle and Northern Lights Thank this.

No lumper fee for me, according to my paperwork and load info. -
oh and vending machines are at Walmart's funky weird pricing. .90 for a 20 oz and same for a bag of chips. 1.15 for, I think a danish. I think if the machine took penny's. I'm sure that the prices would end with a 6 or an 8.
and no truck parking nearby! -
Anybody else sitting in Ochelata to deliver? I'm just pulling in the gate myself. Just a note,mere is a dirt lot across the street where others do park, however I would advise against it as I'm seeing yet another trailer being towed out of a hole, and that make the 4th consecutive trip here I have witnessed such an event. Heading back to sapulpa after I get empty.
