    Very nice! I just like to be able to enjoy some nice weather when I'm home for a change. Seems like every time I go home it rains.

    This spontaneously separated itself from the trailer 2 weeks ago. Amazing I dumped for years without it, but I’ve also dumped now for years with it, I realize these past 2 weeks without it how much I like it being there, this is newb type stuff but who cares, it makes my job easier and helps me better understand what my trailers doing on the way to the top.

    Wrapped up the week with some local moves, lime rock to jax then asphalt to Orlando. Took the back roads home from there and made relatively good time, the traffic out on the interstate coming from Orlando is unbearable on Fridays so it’s best to avoid it if you can. Have a good weekend all. IMG_1597.jpeg
     
    Rugerfan Thanks this.

    Ramping up on a bit of fertilizer lately, this pic doesn’t really show the awkwardness of this pit, trailer is elevated above the tractor, good and level, but the tractor is angled downward at a pretty decent decline. That’s a lot of pressure on that ram in such an awkward position, after years of doing this you can feel it in the seat that the truck isn’t happy, either way, safe and sound and on to the next one.

    You got tripple on the trailer? I last hauled stainless and found myself throwing pcs forward to keep my axle's evened out. Ran a demo trailer but got apportioned plates and my insurance doubled. Now I'm looking for a skateboard.

    I’m getting soft in my old age, preloaded with fertilizer to go about 6 hours north in GA, not usually something that would stress me out to leave Sunday, but I have to reload up near Blue Ridge, well above Atlanta, there’s where the thought of leaving Sunday came in to play, it would be nice to have the fresh hours in the AM but I’ll hope for the best and try to get back to Jackson tomorrow evening. I don’t know what it is about Sunday leaves, I’ve never gotten used to them, and it’s only been worse in recent years. Happy Easter all.

    I’m the same dude I’d rather die a 1,000 deaths than leave on a Sunday. Idk how much glass hauling you do but if you go to SMI in College Park GA ever, it’s safety vest and hard hat. The SMI in KC instituted this policy because someone got ran over and unfortunately didn’t survive at SMI in College Park a few weeks back.
