    Speaking as a native Texan, be happy you traveled thru the big cities of Ft Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas late at night. While you missed some sites, you saved at least two hours of driving and a days worth of frustration. I35 thru Austin and San Antonio is voted to be one of the worst roads in America. So be thankful for your nite drives!

  • @robertbroome1618

    Trucker Josh although retired now I have another reason as to why you should never grease the locking pins on a fifth wheel. When i first started driving highway trucks I thought I would do as what was said and help me get the pins to lock easier. after greasing the pins a couple months went by and I needed to monkey around the fifth wheel to balance some weight. There was so much road grime in the pins stuck in amongst the grease I had problems getting the pins out and back in. What usually takes a few minutes took over an hour to accomplish. just not a good Idea.

      It’s good to return home safely particularly with winter’s icy grip on much of Canada, even the City of Toronto. That city that I call home may see snow stick to the ground for the next few days at least although even before that storm on Friday Central Time, I’d gotten used to temperatures that pretty much around the clock had been under 10°C. Each season has its pros and cons, with winter no exception.

    Josh, when you measured the length of your truck or at least determined how much room you had to play with for your stretch, where was your fifth wheel placement?
    Does the placement of your fifth wheel make a difference in the total length of your unit?
