    Shreveport Qualawash..........5 times there. Haven't been able to pull a single trailer back out without problems. THIS time? External cap coated in obvious brown product. Both cotter pins busted off inside the camlock of the external valve. 2 placards still on the trailer. Ring of product around the dome and overspray all over the crows nest.

    I dont know how a single place can be this consistently bad.I had no other options unless I wanted to drive a few hundred miles to Hutchins or spend an entire day at Kilgore. The work ethic here in Shreveport seems to be severely lacking. I see it at alot of my customers here.

    I love the Blue beacon here though!!!!! Absolutely get a wonderfull, quick truck and trailer wash for $70 and the speedco down the road in greenwood always treats me well and they are the only ones I let touch my truck. As soon as they're done, I'm going to park it and take apart the dome lids and clean everything and hopefully not fall in the tank lol. Do some laundry , shower, shave and top the night off with video games and some guitar.
    I keep an electric and an acoustic in the truck. I have a small amp that I use. Little bugger screams! I usually plug my headphones into so I dont bother anyone unless they have an air dryer purging every 30 seconds, or a loud, stink APU,,,,,or its Swift.

    I think I may get a new electric when I get home. I just bought this one, but I don't enjoy playing it. It's really hard to keep in tune and the knobs are really close to the bridge and I can't help tagging the volume up and down. Not sure what I'll get, if anything. I want to get back into photography, but that's a pretty serious financial commitment

    I pull one every now and then. On a spread axle rack. ISO sits way back behind truck and feels like I'm pulling a house. Glad I'm not paying for the fuel.

    Ya, we have an iso division and heard we have 75 spread axle chassis.
    Fuel mileage really sucks with those, I ran one down to Dana in Cincinnati awhile back iirc I averaged about 5 mpg, Tanker I'll average close to 8mpg.
    They are too top heavy for my liking
