The Couple on "Joy of Trucking" were also saying loads are hard to come by. I totally agree with the "self contained" big sleeper. Peace of mind is the one commodity that's hard to find out on the road. UK/EU truckers are woefully short of this.

Don’t know if it’s possible with your 5th wheel but I drop the trailer and just slide the 5th well by hand, much easier to line up.

Nothing like starting over again with a new coordinator. Hopefully you got a heads up on that one. Nice informative explanation on the fifth wheel. Paperwork never ends. Spent 34 years in aircraft maintenance. Freight is definitely slow. I watch many other drivers on KZbin. Dry van, end dump, pneumatic, etc. They all say it's slow right now. One trucker I follow the company they work for, dry van, have the 5th wheel permanently set in place. So far hasn't caused any issues.
