    Most of what we do is way too much work for the modern flatbedder.

    Wait until you're at a truck stop and someone isn't using their Volvo, then trade them. The cup holders are perfect... well... except for being right in front of the freakin heater controls.

    I've also noticed the second most popular tractor number for flatbedders behind 777 is 66.

    That was me about a month ago.

    They shut the whole works down on Saturday afternoon, and didn't open it until Monday morning.

    I was at the TA east of Cheyenne.

    Oddly enough they had the ends open so you could get out if you wanted, but not in.

    This works really well on headlights. I know it's available at Walmart, but I don't know where else. You don't need to clearcoat it either.
    If the lights are pitted very bad I would wet sand them with something coarser than what comes in the kit but otherwise it works well. The kit is about $8.00 at Walmart.

    I used to pull dry vans but the company would haul almost anything....
    One time I had to haul grains after a load of hay.... the shipper made me go to a trailer cleaning place 3 times to have it cleaned out with a blower... shipper said some people had allergy to hay and would refuse their product if they found hay contamination in their product...
    Another time I ended up hauling trash... thought it would be recycling material but.... :biggrin_1square1:
    Other time hooked to a sealed trailer.... found out later, while driving in traffic jam in Dallas that the machine inside the trailer was loose, rolling on wheels and almost fell off on the road.... that's a long story... :biggrin_2552:
