Next time go to the Bosselman's in Grand Island, NE. Just take exit 312 off of I-80 and go north and it's about a mile or so up the road on the west side. Trust me, you can't miss it. :wink:

I take it you didn't try the china buffet? :?

It might be me but I hated Bosselman's. Maybe it's because I hated Nebraska driving across that Long ass flat land :P
What is it-456 Miles of Nodda

Yes, I do, probably because it makes these Flying J dumps look clean for a while.

I got a load going to Virginia. Not NH but closer. I think it's a load of lime or something like that. They said I have to tailgate the load. Nobody knows what that means???

You have a van now? If yes, tailgating is moving each pallet to the end of the trailer where a forklift can pull it off of the trailer. This would be in a place where there is no dock.

I used to run through North Platte on 83. I didnt know there was a flyin hook, there. Been about 6 years, since I have been up there. I used to run up and down 83, running from Valentine,NEB down to North Platte.

If the receiver has no dock and no pallet jack, tailgating will mean you carry each piece to the rear of the trailer by hand, someone else takes it from there. If they have a jack, you can probably roll each pallet to the tail, if the load is on pallets of course. If you are still pulling your flat, I guess tailgating might mean handing the pieces (bags?) off the sides.

So for this winter I've been exceptionally lucky regarding weather. One little snow storm, and a bit of freezing rain. That's it. When I was doing my overnight run, I'd have that once a week!

One thing though, in summer it sure is a bitch to wash your truck! Those bugs stick on like crazy!
The bugs SUCK!!!!!!!!
Grab a few Bounce dryer sheets together, dampen them, rub the bugs a little and they slide right off.
