Sending it through the Bronx this afternoon

I went through the Bronx once, but that was because I missed my exit.
I can't imagine doing it intentionally.

Moving on, NY needs to stop that HUT sticker, I know they did for a few years and then they brought it back.
NY has a sticker and then every jurisdiction wants a sticker. Rather than a big ugly sticker, do we go back to bingo card plates?

Maybe we should. You get a plate for every state. Then there would be no room for these jock strap sniffers to put all these damn bright lights on the front of the trucks.

I'd love to have a mega-laser light to blast right into the windshield of these assholes' trucks.

@Mike Did you fall and hit your head?

Maria is with me, she has never been there and wanted to go. We were in Carlisle this week stealing freight from @Electric Chicken and I found a load out of Delaware going to Maine.

Wasn’t too bad, actually better than I expected. Hasn’t been there in probably more than 20 years.

It's okay I don't go to NY. No HUT stickers on my truck.

Heck I've been almost 100% intrastate lately barely leaving PA.

Of course!

Had to before somebody looked at the route and told me how bad of an idea it was

Gotcha. I'll tell you after then. It's a bad idea.

Rear trailer landing gear.

Hadn't even heard of that till I seen it in action yesterday.

Moved out of my dock so hombre could move in.
Partially saw him walk to back of trailer chocking the wheels. Then saw him bend over and hear a hissing air release sound.

I'm like, why is he letting air out of his tires. Lol

He went in, and out of curiosity I walk back there and see the landing gear was being lowered.

Who knew?

Most of our landolls have these hydraulic legs between two of the axles to pick the deck up to dock height. Alternatively, you can run the axles forward just out of the pockets and that's enough but if not the legs are there. They also come in handy if you gotta work on the trailer.

It most likely adds some stability to the rear of the trailer with the forklift running in and out.

Plus, unless the system is charged and the landing gear raised, the next dummy can't just drag it away from the dock.

Sounds awesome. Especially for a live load without disconnecting. Put both sets down and it wouldn't rock you.

Yes sir (looked it up)

Just like those utility trucks that we've all seen where you can literally lift the whole truck off the ground.

This is the only thing I could divvy up from the Net quickly:

 

[Rigjockey]

I have only seen them on straight trucks and to the rear. To keep the ass end when the forklift goes on.

 

[389 Hood]

I've never seen them. Then again, I don't do any kind of dock deliveries.

In Phoenix, delivery to Pepsi at 0500 tomorrow.

Park at the J, open up the app this evening to check the shower situation.

26 in line. Guess that’s not happening tonight.

Was also going to get my parking receipt to put in the door. Walk inside, the lines are wrapped around every isle with people waiting to buy something. Guess I won’t be putting one of those in the window…..

The truck stops around here are so awesome, lol.
