I always load my trailer from the center point that's marked. Let's say I have a load of bricks. 25 packs. I would have 12 packs front of center and 13 packs rear of center. When I do this I'm always like 37k on split trailer axle, 27k on drives and ALWAYS maxed out on steers. What should I do differently??? It would seem counter intuitive to move the load forward on the trailer because then my steers would be over correct?

Ok....first time hauling steel coils. Eye to the sky. 2 of them at approximately 20k each. Got them secured and tarped just fine using chain/strap combo. Ran into an interesting situation at the receiver. I pull up in front of the warehouse and the loader tells me to pull around the side and un strap/chain/tarp everything. Ok so I did that. Right before I back in the warehouse, it's starts to drizzle a little. The coils are shrink wrapped and have cardboard on top. This guy makes me sign the bills saying that they got rained on and might be rusted. After he told me to untarp outside....really???
Dispatch was cool because the plastic was wet but the cardboard underneath wasn't to I think the coils made it dry.

G-town supposedly makes a great living at swift pulling Walmart dedicated. Don't trust the online reviews. My opinion is that at least %80 of those are disgruntled FORMER employees who couldn't cut it. You have to pay very close attention to the phrasing in those things.

If you're going lease (not recommended here) I would team it up and save some cash until you upgrade. You're gonna need it.

Ok to run with no brake lights or turn signal on trailer.
There is a shop in Pensacola that would've come to you at the MM 30 rest area. I'm assuming that's where you were. Knowles on site repair. Great shop

Here's an expert tip. Get a wrench and loosen your fm/am antenna so that it's just tight enough to unscrew with your hand (and so that it won't fall off). Never worry about locking your keys in the truck again.

Oh, you can keep it. I got a new one.
I have your fuel cap.
Someone stole my fuel cap once, does that count? I'm pretty sure I didn't leave it on the step and drive away.....

OTC meds causing false positives on drug tests?
As far as I understand, a false positive is not likely in any scenario (excluding poppy seeds). If you test positive for something I think they have to do a confirmatory test for the exact metabolite. So, if it is really just Advil, they will see it in the confirmatory test.
