    Do you have a tape measure? Can you tell me the king pin distance to the front for your trailer?

    Yeah I could leave the rack on. But I probably have to dump all the stuff out of it. 9 binders, all the straps, chains. I would guess 1200 pounds. Maybe more, probably not much.



    LMAO. Blues brothers.

    Finally got that DDG off, and just ate… I’m wore down, wore out, just plain worn.. 2 hours beating with a big friggen hammer, driving around slamming brakes, getting it to slide, poking an air hose into the product above and below. PVC pipe. More big friggen hammer… the judge has either gotten to old for that load type or out of shape… :(:dontknow::mmeek: Drive 5 miles found a parking spot. I’m done… alieve needed. No load yet, not setting alarm..

    All the trailers are thirty six(36") inches.

    It's an easy way to know if you're legal to go INTO THE COMMUNIST STATE.

    Cause that's forty(40') foot max bridge, kingpin to center of back axle.

    So's......just measure ten(10') feet from back of trailer to back axle.

    53-10=43.

    43-3 (the 3 being front of trailer to kingpin) = 40.

    It was 91 degrees when I got off work today, and the forecast for the next five days is predicting the same.

    I went dove hunting today at least, but it's bow season for deer and I just can't bring myself to put one on the ground in this temperature.

    It’s been a week in the Borderlands— went truck crane’n today in the Far East of the Ho — you could spit and hit Wy-O-Ming— cause the hotrod truck crane’n guy didn’t feel well and wasn’t comfortable being away from civilization and evidently he don’t do dirt (with a little mud) mountain roads— got a feeling that he’s probably headed back to Tejas very soon
