    I’m watching Ice Road Truckers and just saw a guy lose a skid of blade edges off his trailer.

    Back in where? Just between those dumpsters? Is the guy an idiot? o_O

    Sounds like he’d love this one I did today. Came S/B where the white mark is, turned around at the blue circle, and backed all the way down a little private road barely wide enough for a golf cart to the end.

    Yes and its wide enough for two doors!

    I will say this, on the day to day you do need to realize that the dumpsters are never in the same place. But that is the only thing to watch for. It hands down has to be one of the easiest I have backed into. This is the second time I seen someone puss out on that exact door.

    I also have alot of respect for LTL city and road drivers. Have some family and friends that run it. Them LTL over the road boys can get it done in a slow under power trucks.

    Albert Lea for the night. Hustled and got unloaded just north of Minneapolis today so we can go load a partial in Des Moines tomorrow.

    Gonna look funny with a 16' piece on the back of the deck with 4' of overhang. Then to MI and load for Los Angeles Thursday.

    It’s not only an underpowered truck, even though the 450 hp X-15 is a huge improvement over the 330-350 hp Mack Vision I ran for the 12 years before I got the 579, but it’s also the fact that doubles pull like a lead sled.
