    I come home everyday to my bed too. Sadly I don't know what it's like to sleep on it. Want a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old?

    Even upgrading to a king size bed didn't help, now they all fit more comfortably.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd say you just described Prestressed Concrete at Newton, Ks. The old highway (I grew up with it being called old 81), the 45* at main, next to the tracks and the COOP and the bank on the southwest corner of 12th and main where you turned left and in a couple blocks went up the big hill. Would that be a safe assumption??

    We buy structures off of them sometimes, we mostly use EC Baabert but occasionally UPI. It's always a fiasco.

    ^^ Fiasco is right. Last time I hauled for them it took us 2 hours to find the right trailer. Number was wrong, color was wrong, description iffy. Bounced from one yard to the next, around the corner. (you know where I mean, then.) My boss and I and another driver hauled once for EC Babbert out of Canal Winchester, I think. Abutments to Ashley, Ohio on some of the tiniest dang roads around here. Better yard, tho!
    UPI ... That's that tripod I posted about that smoked brakes and load slipped. In the CB thread. They still call me to "come work for them . . HA!~." nothing against y'all FB OS/OD guys, much respect. United Precast just gave me a bad taste in my mouth. That last load was probably refused 3x.... and we hauled it on a Sunday! Wasn't my first with them, but def my last, LoL!
    Tell Jenni and Mark Tom says hi, if you get stuck there again.. Be safe, man!
