    It was a hit it and get it. Made a trip to the vet to pick up an extra vile of insulin for The OM while dude was repairing the tire.

    Had I known the shipper was going to take 5.5 hours, could have prepped better.

    Aren't most LS trailers air ride? If so cheat the leveling valve and get it back on the road. You can usually get a decent amount of lift before the bags become an issue.

    Only saying because I've had the "opportunity" to exercise this maneuver. But the trailer came off the tractor, dumped tractor air, got frame under it aired back up cranked the landing gear down and repeated until I could hook up. Got to the shop.

    I've done that twice. Both times with Casper. Took it loose and turned it up all the way.

    P00F unstuck.

    Not really understanding the personal record you're shooting for.
    Most awful **** in one day?
    If so, you left out the Vienna sausages.
    Better luck next time

    I wanna jump in. I did jump in back in 2005 outside of a bar a few miles downriver. Couldn’t get myself out. My buddy just telling me to knock it off and offering no help. Glad it was daylight.

    Most loads in one day. No time to stop and eat anything decent. Time is of the essence. Trying to deliver 500,000 pounds of sand by midnight. I’m somewhere around 410,000
