that works real well unless your hat gets yanked off. A less painful way to stay awake is to thin your blood. 3 asprins will do just that. good for another 2 hrs.

This is how my Mexican "relief" driver stayed up to watch me drive us from Laredo to Vera Cruz. -
I used to love those jalapinos, now even the thought gives me heartburn!:smt011:smt011:smt011:smt011:smt011 -
You know you are too tired to go on when you light a fresh cigar, draw that 1st puff and casually roll down the window, shake your new Zippo lighter to put it out, then toss it out the window like a match...joeyneedlz Thanks this. -
Why worry about sliding tandems on a trailer you
shouldn't be pulling in the first, or last, place?
-
Well it is not a perfect world. Automatic slack adjusters can and do fail. I have pulled trailers from customers that had this very issue and taken it directly to a company shop in transit rather than wait several hours for a road service truck to come to me.
That said I always make sure my axle weights are legal so I do not get any additional scrutiny from DOT at the scales. I have used chock blocks, curbs at the customer, and even a big rock once to get my weight correct.
Of course there are many things that I do that may not be strictly legal but I get the job done.
I also think the state of Massachusetts requires parked trucks to use chock blocks to this day. I see the signs every time I pull into a service plaza on I90. -
Brickman,everyone knows that you use your fith wheel puller to snag snacks,not a backscratcher!!!!! Those are for snagging your jacket off the bunk~~
