On the dump valve thing, I have one mounted on my dash, for my spread axle flat...and, even with it dumping the back axle, when loaded, it's a very jerky, frustrating back into a parking spot

I've backed into places with only a credit card size space on either side of my mirrors many times now but when it comes to a truck stop I freak out knowing everyone is watching and being obvious that I own the truck, well, you better not take more than 1 pull up.
I forgot to mention the other day I was doing laundry in a small town. This place was hoping with tons of Mexicans doing there laundry. It was a depressed area. They also did laundry for a fee and I was talking to the lady doing that job. Well, all of a sudden she blurts out to this Mexican guy at the end, "NO GREASERS DOWN THERE". I was like, HOLY CRAP, I can't believe you just said that. Then she said to me, we have washers up here for greasy clothes. I guess it's a common term in New Mexico but not from where I come from, that's a bad word.

Why? Is that makes you any better, or worse driver, cause of what the others think of you? :roll:
BTW That "fear", or "pride", got a lot of folks in trouble! :!:

Nobody has ever said anything to me other than help. I just don't like the fact that all those people have a front row seat watching me backing in.

All I can think of is that Solo is pissed because he can't spell and his grammar poor so he's jealous and Rev, well he's just plain pissed at the world and also jealous. It really must suck being you guys.
Attitude is everything and I'm having a fantastic time seeing the U.S. and making good money to boot.
So any ways. I'm on the side of the road off the highway in a real nice spot next to a stream out in the middle of nowhere. I finally dug out my beach chair and put down a blanket. I can't believe I have a Broadband connection out here. Drinking coffee, got CNN on the radio with the doors open so I can listen....Nice and cool next to the stream which produces a little breeze with the cool water and warm air. Going to be great sleeping weather tonight. Yup, doesn't get any better than this.

Sleeping in a bed that doesn't move, having a real shower and toilet, having a legitimate kitchen. They are all better than sitting on the side of the road pretending that every load pays $2.00 per mile.

Har har har.......That was correct grammar. You see Rev, you actually have to know it yourself before you can correct it.
Now, where is that ignore button. :roll:
