I give up, it is someone else's turn now. :lol: I'm still funcused. :? Huh? The yard jockey only cares about moving the trailer. He doesnt change, alter, or care about the height of the landing gear. Even Fozzy made me laugh at his cartoon! What a long strange trip its been :lol:

Yes Gentlemen, this topic has ran it's course. kc0iv thanks for informing me that there are 24.5" tires. Wasn't aware of that. Know lots about trucks from putting them together going into Dealerships but that's one thing I didn't pay attention to. Guess I wasn't particularly interested until I picked up trailers. UM!!! Planned ignorance I guess.
Let me end this thread by telling you guys a little story. You might enjoy it, perhaps you won't, but I'm going to give it a shot.... While hauling trucks, the hottest "looking" truck I hauled was a flat top, silver metallic flake truck with dual stacks and a train horn that could blow your ears off. It was my 30th trip and it happened to be to my favorite dealership in New Brunswick, Canada. Even 4 wheeler women were looking at the truck and usually I don't think they look at trucks unless it's to flirt with you guys. I got to Wilkes Barre, PA and didn't have my tools to put the stacks on. Thought it was about time to put them on since I had gone 400+ miles without being stopped by the H.P. Hence, I went into the Petro and asked the guys if they could put the stacks on. After flirting with me mercilessly, they started looking at the truck like it was the latest Playboy Playmate of the Month. They walked over and started touching the hood and asking all sorts of questions. They looked at me and asked what size the engine was. [Assuming that they expected the attractive blonde to be totally clueless I thought-what can I say to blow their minds?!? Fortunately, I was quick that day with a comeback-which isn't usual for me, particularly in the a.m.] I proceeded to say "Well Boys isn't it enough that I know there's an engine under that hood?" It took about 2 minutes for them to stop laughing, one of them almost fell on the floor. They said, "well pop that hood and we'll tell you the size of the engine so the next time someone asks you you will know." Now I want to know why is that women drivers have NEVER asked me the size of the engine and that's quite the topic of conversation with you guys? From a young age I think you guys are taught no matter what the subject is that SIZE is all that matters. TOO FUNNY! 8) :roll:

Wow, you read my last post and didn't comment about that funny situation? You went way back to lecture me about shouting. Have a sense of humor for heaven's sake. Took you quite awhile to lecture me didn't it? Are you the "Good Etiquette Fairy or what?
