    Wow... riding with the weight and not simply yanking it must be nice. Can't wait to wag the tail all the way across the 70 tommorow.

    Maybe the buffet at Dotties will make up for it...

    #### maybe I could eat enough at the Petro Buffet tonight to tilt some of my cab forward and bring some of that pipe towards the drives...

    Maybe that's what all these overweight air suckers at the counter have been doing all these years...

    Had a little chat with THE MAN. He didn’t care for my speed. Cool guy though. Dropped it to 5 over and wrote me a warning and a clean level 3. That makes 5 for me in the last 5 years. Guess I’m good for another year.

    I really enjoy it. Love loading at farms and meeting the farmers. Guy that loaded me this morning on a farm in KS had been up all night fighting a fire (he’s a volunteer). Dog tired, but still loaded me and was really cool.

    It sure ain’t makin the money that frac sand does, and its a shame. I really like it.

    By the way @SAR Ive had my AC on all day..... lol

    We have gauges. Unfortunately a gauge is only as good as the tongue of the fella loading you.

    "It's only 35k of pipe..."

    Alright. 50 psi. Should be just about a 50/50 split. I get paperwork before leaving and it's telling me 44k... well... that's gonna be a problem.

    We have a drive gauge. That's it. No sliding fifth wheel.

    If I'm legal it sails at this point.
