    They're ok if you dont expect too much from them.
    I think of them as the Volkswagen beetle of trucks. They leak, they rattle, but hey they're cheap and the heater works.

    The driver was attempting to back in the parking space on the left side. Put the right rear corner of the trailer into the truck. When she hit the mirror, I hit the air horns and the 4 ways, she rolled forward a bit and started back a second time, then rolled forward only to take a 3rd try.

    It’s all on camera in glorious HD.
    Maybe after things settle, I can share that.

    Then there is that rare one who actually knows where the place you are asking about is....
    The rest just spout out to where they thought you were talking about...
    'Oh, you wanna go that place?......' Shrug...

    Following Louisana, NE Texas and Arkansas pending outbreak. Its going to go into action at some point thursday night towards midday Friday and continue through Saturday where it's actually suppose to convert to a dusting of snow here in Central Arkansas above Little Rock. Tornadoes will probably be featured more in this one than usual because of the winds direction differences with height soundings are legit for it out local NWS Little Rock by weather balloon.

    For me it's noisy and such at home but for you truckers it will be dangerous enough.
