    I followed a driver pulling an Amazon Prime trailer for about 50 miles in South Dakota today. Everytime he wanted to pass someone, on would come his right turn signal. Then, when he was ready to come back on over to the right, on would come his left turn signals.

    I was thinking, maybe this drivers dyslexic. Then I saw his tractor right turn signal come on, but the trailer was saying "left". They didn't have a radio, or just ignored me.

    I had to take a whizz so I got off. They didn't and just kept going west into the haze. They'll figure it out, or a cop will, or the next person to pull that trailer will if they do a pretrip. I know mine work.

    I just had to explain the proncipal of Wide Turns to my 3 year old son... He had a Swift moment with his wagon. He walked aroumd the corner of the house, but the front corner of the wagon impacted the house amd almost jerked him off his feet. So we backed it up and I explained how to take corners wide... Never too young to start teaching these important lessons.

    Just finished assembling 4 chairs, a table, and loveseat. Outside furniture. Can’t help but picture people at a factory somewhere in China laughing right now. Still waiting on one more table and 2 chairs. Gift for my daughter.

    Shutting down for my 30, might be an hour nap here in Jasper, MO. 1st night shift I've pulled in a few weeks, and didn't rest that well today.

    Don’t you love it when the screw holes don’t line up?

    Either the trailer socket or the pig tail are wired incorrectly. Maybe some mechanic is laughing at the driver.

    That nap turned into nearly 2.5 hours. More than enough time on the load, but still wish it hadn't been needed.
