    Got my start running OTR for my first three years. Then went local, then tanker and never looked back. I've made way more money local and it's nice to go home after a long ruff day. Only thing I miss about OTR is getting out of the big city.

    That’s called getting out of SoCal and getting up to the PNW! Traffic? What’s that? Well, besides Seattle and Portland. But #### dude you bought a house in California. Especially for us millennials. There’s a lot to say for that. I couldn’t pull it off.

    I hear you brother when I ran oil I use to run up to the PNW weekly, boy is it beautiful out there. That would be my choice if I had to move out of SoCal.
    Yes trucking has been very good to me and thank goodness I was taught hard work at a young age.

    Vapor question for the experienced guys: Gasoline trailer.
    I've pulled many different trailers for KAG so far, the current one is the only one that does this.
    After delivering, when I unhook the vapor hose at the trailer end, I get a pint or so of gas spilling out, into the spill bucket of course. Other trailers may be dry, a little damp, or a couple drops, but this one seems excessive. It even does this when I use the high vapor port above the rear fender.
    Yes, I drain the vapor hose. This seems to be gas left in the vapor pipes. Funny part is there is usually nothing that drains out at the rack when hooking up the vapor there, where some trailers drop a fair amount.
    I have not discussed this with maintenance yet.
    Any ideas?
