    Well just started trucking with my 48 ft spread axle conestoga, and want to say thank you to all you Gents who actually take the time to help a rookie out.

    Recently I had to pull into a small truckstop that was full and for the life of me I could not put the trailer in the hole! after driving 11 hours in the rain up and down the mountains I got to a small truckstop in Wy in the middle of the night, that was pretty full, I was exhausted! I couldnt even nose into a spot correctly, without having the trailer two far over, and blocking the last two spots! After three tries a nice older trucker hopped out of his truck and aided me in backing it in right! I want to say thank you to those of you who take the time to help us new guys out. Its a small thing but it means alot to us new guys...

    Just remember to pass the help on down the line. We all could use a hand at times, new or old trucker.

    I prefer my drivers to be crispy with a soft chewy nougat center.
