    I didn't know that those food service tanks were that much light than the MC407s that chemicals are run in. With a small sleeper ProStar with an aluminum hose rack and two hoses, and not much personal stuff since I was normally only gone one night, I was @ 32,000 empty.

    When I had the Western Trailer combo 48, that trailer was incredibly light at 8800lbs. Rated for 80k. They make them up in Boise ID.

    When I was working in Iraq, quite a few people ordered coffee from Community Coffee. They did right for the people over there by sending double the amount ordered for the same price. They do the same to any APO/FPO address. A good company.

    Thus company makes an awesome bag designed specifically with truck drivers in mind. They are based in Australia but they do ship to the USA and I believe they are improving that process. I bought one of thier bags when I first started doing OTR 3 years ago, and was one of thier first American customers. They have great customer service, the shoulder strap on my bag broke after a year of use and they sent me not 1, but 2 different replacement straps... For free!!! Thier products are a little on the pricier side, but the quality, craftsmanship, and customer service makes it well worth it.

    SO

    Dropped trailer for loading at 0500. Now I'm at Freightlinershaker waiting to get Blackie in so they can fix the programming on the new chassis controller.

    Been waiting F PATIENTLY cause that's the kind of person I am, and have no other option really.

    I can hear The OM and sausages calling, calling, calling.

    Another satisfied customer at Freightlinershaker of Arizona for the Criminally Insane has just backed out of the Service Department and departed the premises in disgust.

    You would think they would have to be built pretty stout for the beating they can give you.

    I know one brand I think the Walkers weighed like 7-800 more.

    Blackie has been wrote up.

    Agent called and I'm to dispose of the applesauce.

    I'm starting to have separation anxiety from The OM.
