AK just a helpful hint while in truck stops. Before you leave back against the pin on the trailer and do a pull test. I had some scumbag pull my pin while in a truck stop. Thankfully I always back against the pin and heard it click. Stay safe. 🇺🇸👍🙏

My Mother was born and raised about 30 minutes from the Talladega race track in Sylacauga Alabama. Her brothers used to roam the woods where the track is. Then while and after the track was built they would drive around the race track in their old beat up cars before the fence was put up around the track.. It is definitely some beautiful country over that way!!!

Also, I don't know if you have heard of the "Waze" app, but it basically is a warning/notification system for all drivers on the road, both in cars and semis. It allows you to notify others where law enforcement is sitting and also if there is construction/traffic/wrecks on your route that might slow you down. It will also suggest routes for you to use to bypass any traffic/construction. But it has saved my ass numerous times from getting a speeding ticket so if you don't have it, get that joker! It's free!
