=) Slider fun and games. Majority of my time was in reefers also but I enjoyed a time with a covered wagon with a 10 foot spread. No sliding needed. Many a time cross scales 40,000 on the rear end and they check carefully. Containers did not have sliders. You were stuck with what you got. Ugh... I think California can build warehouses along the line with Oregon, Nevada and Az and use thier own trucks to fini***he delievery. Then they can have thier axle limits and we have the freedom from Urban ills such as the South LA Produce market. 53 foot trailers particularly have problems in Grocery and Cold Storage places on the east coast built for 40' trailers. Add that to a conventional instead of a cab over and you gots yerself a real back breaker. I remember one place where I was told to back thru one set of doors. I said forget it.. I'll wait for a different door as I was "Too fat" to fit. They repeated the order "YOU WILL...." I stood my ground. Finally dispatcher said ok you get it in there, I will not make you pay for damages. Both doors, outside tires and insulation shaved off. Looking back on that incident.. I should have hopped the airline or train straight home instead of backing into that particular dock. Another time I had a 53'er in a place made for bob-trucks (Or straight trucks) I asked them you want this WHERE? They finally backed thier straight truck to me and transloaded. That costed alot of money and time as well as making a missed service failure on the next reload that was due later that day. UGH. I could go on.. but you get the idea.
