    Good video Bandit, There a spot under constant repair from Missouri I-55 and jumping to Memphis, TN and it's down to 1 lane and concrete barriers so close you feel like a your going to hit and grind your rims on the sides of the barriers and turns some quickly turnoffs too with potholes of he11. I thought one time I bounced so dam hard I thought I was going to have my nose of my truck posted up on top the barriers, if I didn't have my seatbelt on I would be in the sleeper floor pretending to be a backseat driver. I call the place Memphis mud heads. The city can't fix nothing right of the roads in that city of Memphis. That potholes ended up bending my top tracking / torque bar on my back differential / rearend. Had to get replaced, mechanic asked what happen here, Memphis mud heads potholes of he11. Wait until you go to pilgrim's pride by Sulpher Springs, TX It's a kill plant for chickens, and I was picking up there and chicken poop right down the middle entrance road. And then wait to get loaded and then starts raining and you have to reconnect to trailer. Yep some spots ask for disconnects from trailer and park beside your trailer as your truck sticks to far out in main road. And now raining and chicken poop wipe off shoes and then start spraying poop all over your truck and trailer driving. Smell chicken poop so you go down the road and find a streakin beacon to wash the truck and trailer. And you put clothes in a trash bag to wash later. Finally get your smell back in your nose day later.

    I drove through Ohio yesterday around Zanesville and they have some scary construction going on. Only few inches to spare on each side of the truck before you hit the wall. Wall on one side is probably 5 feet high. Very nerve wracking. They have a turkey kill plant right there in Milan where I picked this load up. I don’t want to go there because they make you drop your trailer and leave the property. And it takes forever to load from what I’ve heard.

    Hey, I sent u my tire type, the Bridgestone R213, I'm parked now on my10. Their pretty high on price, most class 8 trucks run the standard G rated tire. These r 70mph rated tires, yes truck tires have a speed rating. I run the H rated steer tires(75 mph rated), the W900L is heavy, plus with H rated u can run 13,000 on the steers versus 12k. allows me to shift drive weight forward to steers if needed. G rated tires r 14 ply, H rated r 16ply. Give u some better understanding!!. My drives r the standard G rated, the H rated gives me some leeway on front, plus good durability. Be good Ron

I don’t like deadhead too much but sometimes you have no choice. I did deadhead a few times from Florida all the way to Tennessee, sometimes even Kentucky. But that does not happen very often. I try to keep my deadhead below 200 miles but if I have to, I will go further. I guess it all depends on the area we find ourselves in.

    It is done manually with your trailers break set and you just move your truck back-and-forth until you adjust your trailer tandems to where you want them to be. But first you need to go outside and pull on that button that I always pull so that it can pull the slider pins inside so you can move your tandems back-and-forth.
