JB Hunt trailer dropped next to me. Power only driver comes in, slams into trailer. Drags the landing gear 2-3 feet then does the same in reverse. Takes off. I see him on the ramp. Tandems all the way back. I’m pretty sure I heard him curb it in the way out.
But hey, he was dressed fly as hEll. Even had a yellow headset that probably never comes off.
What if it Snows?

Haven't finalized paperwork yet on trailer. Finance guy only works Monday -Wednesday and on the east coast so its been taking awhile. going with a double dropDeereRunner97, dwells40, Boondock and 12 others Thank this.

Ooh, double drop. Nice, hope you get good use out of it.
I actually gave a bit longer look than I should have at an RGN that was available at the dealer where I got my flat. But, decided to let discretion be the better part of valor and went with a standard flat so I could maintain some familiarity while I work on the other aspects of being an O/O. Learn the business before trying to get specialized in it.
Also feel you on the finance thing. Really put me on pins/needles when I started the buying process of my trailer on a Friday morning. Was a long weekend hand wringing about paperwork.Feedman, DeereRunner97, dwells40 and 11 others Thank this. -
Right on man ! Yeah I just had the itch to do something different so I took the jump. Guess we will see how it works out . You already got your flat on the road and working?Feedman, DeereRunner97, dwells40 and 10 others Thank this.

No, not working it yet. No real excuse other than being lazy to be honest. I do have to reduce the size of an awning shelter on the back side of my house because as it stands I can't get my truck/trailer OUT of where I have it parked without doing so. Hard to explain without a bunch of pictures and diagrams LOL
Although I need to find out where the hell my trailer plate is, since I should have received it already.
I plan to be out on the road by the start of next month.DeereRunner97, dwells40, Boondock and 7 others Thank this. -

5 skids and two more stops at 10 AM?

By that time today I had about 11 of my 21 stops on a 48’ delivered, with 5 pickups to do after that.
Fortunately I don’t have any of those “sit and wait for hours” kind of places, at least not the ones that make a habit of it, unless it’s us that screwed up.DeereRunner97, Boondock, JolliRoger and 9 others Thank this. -
