    I like most things and have tried new stuff all the time. I was in New Orleans and figured that was a good place to try raw oysters on the half shell. Yuck, I have hacked up similar stuff when I had the flu, ha. I had to put so much hot sauce on them in order to get them down that I could not taste anything. That will be my last time for raw oysters. I like fired oysters and oyster dressing but those raw ones are for some one else. I have eaten my share of crawfish while living in Louisiana. They make for a great party meal. The seasoning used in the cooking process is the key to good mudbugs. If his tale is not curled don't eat him because that means he was dead before he went into the pot.

      Half fenders would look sweet, and since he uses those socks instead of chains he can mount the fenders close to the tires and avoid hitting them with the trailer. can't wait to see them.

    Tim - you mentioned at 14:15 that they had to load your trailer like a reefer. Did I misunderstand you? If not, What's the difference between loading a dry van versus loading a reefer? Both trailer types are subject to the same weight per axle.

    • @LifeisGood2018
      @LifeisGood2018  5 лет назад

      Anthony Pirrello a reefer is nose heavy because of the extra weight of the motor, my rig is heavy, so I try and push as much as I can onto the trailer and not just shove everything in the nose

    • @anthonypirrello2473

    Let’s update on what UF has done as of now 2/2020. They have lowered accessorial such as TONU, Layover, & detention. They post loads that are at/- 30% less than what the going spot market dictates on any given day.
    Essentially, they lured you carriers on to their platform in order to have the capacity and now that they got the market share they wanted they turned their backs on you.
    For all this new tech, private carriers are no better than where they were in 2016. So much for an “ industry disruptor “

      @dixiemae5042 5 лет назад

    • @LifeisGood2018
      @LifeisGood2018  5 лет назад

      Dixie Mae oh, yep now that I reread your question, duh 🙄 ok they claim the app weight will be within 300lbs , if you had exactly 34,000 on each location when you do the calibration, it would be really close, I had both to share, but experiencing growing pains with the Mac, app weigh was off a little more than 600lbs, I will do a recalibration one day on the perfect load 👍

    • @dixiemae5042
      @dixiemae5042 5 лет назад

      Life is Good. 600lbs gross or axle? Still not too bad. So far only found two manufactures out there. App weigh and another that needs an additional junction box 😣. I like app weigh how its a simple device connects right off the leveling valve.
