@stevennovakovich2525 Жыл бұрын
You are very correct to walk into unknown areas *before* pulling in somewhere. Too many truckers these days just pull right in and as I'm sure you know get stuck. Many of them 'force' their way around and knock a tree out or do damage to automobiles. Keep up the great work, Alex! And by the way, the skirt on the trailer you are talking about isn't the color 'teal'. Teal has more green in it. The color you are talking about is called turquoise, also the color of your tractor.
