[QUOTE="Flat Earth Trucker, post: 10302511, member: 228082"]That was Crusty's old terminal on Calabash right off of Slover ave. From what I understand, McKinney owned the Crusty lot and an adjacent lot, then booted Crusty out when McKinney needed to expand parking. Then there was the safety trainer. He used to believe that the 5th wheel coupling system was perfect and invincible. I proved him to be wrong. It seems that Volvo had installed many defective 5th wheels that would drop a tractor even after being coupled to a kingpin correctly. I actually miss their "safety line inspections". This is where you would go directly after entering the yard. An inspector would thoroughly check over your tractor for problems. But drivers weren't penalized for any problems, but rather the equipment was put on a fix it list. Then there was the sandwich guy. Five bucks for a sub sandwich. 'Twas a good sandwich. And the bbq guy sold overpriced meat loaded bone chips. I bought from him once. I'm not paying ten bucks for bone chips.[/QUOTE]
