    So is it Swift or CRE ya always see smashing up Dollar General's? I can see why now... Dollar generals are NOT rookie friendly.

    I was in very bad need of some Cotton Swabs and hydrogen peroxide to help alleviate a very badly plugged ear. So when I saw a Dollar General in a po-dunk, 2 lane, 1 stoplight town I slowed down.

    (Glances at layout of lot) "Yeah, I get in and out of there."

    (Pulls into car side of lot, and sets up for sight side back to unloading area) "#### my trailer is still pointing toward the enterance!"

    (Proceeds at first backing attempt) "#### this is a little tight!"

    (Notices not going to be able to get back under trailer due to being to close to cars parked on blind side of truck.) "F... F...!"

    (Half the local population watching by this time... Pulls forward and hard to sight side. Trailer is now pointed somewhere close to where it needs to be) "Oh Lord, please dont let me hit anything."

    (Preceeds with 2nd backing attempt... Barely clears all obsticals, but nails the manuever.) "I'm NEVER stopping at Dollar General again!"

    (Gets out of truck with head held high and walks into store past on lookers like a Boss.)

    Well.

    Was going to fuel up at a co-op but..
    They had a sign, no mask, no service.
    I got masks in the truck, but I didn’t know I had to come in like I was going to rob the place and beg then to $400 from me for fuel.
    I’ll drive 16 miles outta the way to get fuel at an unmanned pump, plus get it .30-.35 cheaper.

    I guess I’m just getting stubborn.

    Same in these parts. Tho it was the first time I ever saw a JB Hunt with a Werner trailer. Must be a whare house issue and loaded the wrong trailer, so Hunt had to pull a Werner.
