What if it Snows?

I gather LS wont let you bobtail

 

All this because of landing gear...?

But I probably missed where a LS guy dropped the trailer that was junk and didn’t say anything......

 

So the repairs took how long?
Measure OD (outside diameter) of pin pipe goes on. 1 minute
Measure length of pipe 2 mins
If pipe isnt in stock, go to store and buy said pipe. Buy a 10 foot stick 5 mins. Wait for help to come cut custom length 20-30 mins
Bring pipe to shop and cut to length (drive time included)45 mins.
Cross drill holes on end of pipe 10 mins
Using a crescent wrench and battery powered impact wrench to remove old bolts. 10 mins
slip new drive pipe in place and pin one end. 5 mins
Use pliers to align other hole, insert other bolt and tighten 5 mins
Make sure both landing gear are same height and adjust 20 mins
Bill customer.
Less than 2 hours if I cut the pipe to length. Add a half hour to have Lowes or Home Depot to size the pipe.

I would have charged $100 for the job. I am going to guess land star is out close to a grand for the same service.

 

I’m currently in Texas at an independent truck stop eating BBQ. They haven’t realized I’m a democrat yet. I almost f-Ed up when I asked if they had sushi and avocados. I backtracked and acted like it was a joke. The people seem nice. I haven’t seen any guns and *most* people are wearing masks until they eat.
I’m blending in and occasionally yellin’ YEEE HAWW Y’ALL!! They’re accepting me as one of their own.

 

Our days are numbered. I now say in 5 years it will be very hard for the independent contractor to compete with what will become lowball freight. Driven by the needs of the shipping companies.
Automated trucking, a technical milestone that could disrupt hundreds of thousands of jobs, hits the road

 

. Ok it’s a push.

 

When you ask for some fancy bottled water they'll know who you are then. LOL

 

I’ve watched a record number of 6 packs make their way out to truck parking, and not only that DOT would have a field day from the way some of these trucks look.
