That second link aggravated my watchdog. Barked at a an attempted keylogger insertion.

With your track record, ANY driveway would work!

The second link was another video. Strange. I'll try and post it from a computer later.

Second video worked for me yesterday. AND BY THE WAY: I don't mean to be so blunt and hope I do not hurt your feelings but I am used to doing things by myself and certainly don't need you guys assistance to get confused.

Watching the first video twice doesn't mean you've seen the second video. Sorry Bark.

Well today didn't go any better... Started out with the New load, 18 miles into the trip I had to stop and raise the load to clear a railroad crossing, got across no problem, let it down on the other side, heard a loud pop behind me and suddenly felt things start to get really wet.... Emrgh!

I'm gonna blame it on bark and cincydiesel for reasons unknown...

Made a pretty good mess of the trailer and street before I could get the pup motor shut down.

Couple aftermath pics, it appears to have emptied a 20 gallon oil res.

Dude, that's the territory we choose, working in heavy haul. No such thing as a truly smooth trip. I just tend to laugh it off and keep on going. I've spent a LOT of time on the side of the road, repairing the kind of stuff you see on a daily basis, and I've hauled my share of weird stuff too.

You just continue on, and hope for the best.

Now get out there and make some miles. And be thankful that you're on an actual road, not what passes for roads in this part of the world.

Yup I know it, this is just average for me, if I posted pictures of everything that went wrong this would be a long thread ha ha. I mostly do not care any more, it's just all in a days work, but after a long stretch of NOTHING going right, it can get a little frustrating. Going to find a new filter, some oil and something to clean up the mess on the ground, and continue on. I'm still better off than the guy who nailed a bridge on I696 two days ago, apparently he doesn't measure his height...
