    He must have left out the fact that he never hauls anything less than 30 dollar a mile

    We had a tight delivery today fellas. Had to sight side it off the road and then blindside alley dock into their yard between those 2 metal rails that u could see in the picture. We were loaded 75k so naturally my spread axle trailer doesnt wanna move at that kind of angle. Luckily their yard was dirt and the tires could slide . Dont think i wouldve attempted it if it was pavement. Just replace 4 trailer tires dont wanna buy any more ! Need to get one of those dump valves installed like i see some guys have .

    The funny part is , the first load i ever hauled when i started for swift when i went out with my trainer. Was in the verco/nucor drop yard at the top left corner. Maybe @FerrissWheel has pulled out of there before ??

    I will never forget because it was summertime and i put my bare arm down against that metal that had been sitting in the sun, while trying to hookup cross chains and listen to my trainer babble on about something. My god the pain that come from that metal was incredible lol

    The dump valve is a great idea to help extend tire life. l have always thought that if l bought a spread axle Flatbed l would have ordered one self steering axle. And super singles.

    You have quite the career ahead of you as a creative writer, sailor, fisherman or a trucker....oh wait..

    ;)

    I love a good round of ############. It's almost like a game to see who can spout the biggest pile of ######## an lies to where someone finally calls them out on it.

    I take that is a good price for what your getting?
    Does the OM eat fried chicken? Or does she just make sure you eat it?
