you need to learn how to strap down your load. all of those straps on the outside of the rails is WRONG. i don't care how many of you dumbasses do it that way. it doesn't make it right. those trailers were designed a certain way for safety reasons. run the straps through the slots. that is what they are there for. if you rub up against something, you pop all of the straps, one right after another. live... learn... adapt. do better!!
Anybody wanna tell this guy?? I’m tired of explaining this to all these super dooooooper twuckerz
jokes on him because Martin doesn’t have a rub rail on that trailer 😂
@@TruckingTogether well met brutha; I wish I could get back out there again....but can't
medical discharge because of some brain damage or something.
Not the best practice in general, but allowable if needed due to load dimensions. If you run up against something, you've got bigger problems than just damaging the straps.
@@briansmyla8696 I have no choice, there is no rub rail on my trailer. Havent seen a western flatbed with a rub rail yet, but yes sometimes on a trailer with a rail you have no choice - Martin.
Great job Martin for standing up for yourself needs to be more of that.
Exactly, we're not employees. Our rules, our rates. Side note, one other thing I respect you for, your tucking down the road section, your not cruising the hammer lane👍👍
You two are hard working truckers who keep it real !!! Thanks
This drama makes me so glad that I truck for the utility here in NorCal. I'm home every night with my wife and kids and I only have to go out of town when storm or fire damage happens. I haul and run heavy equipment and sand and gravel.
Hello,
I've watched a couple of your videos, beautiful truck. I had that same issue in Montana, I was over weight. Shipper refused to take a bundle or two off.
When I told him to take the load off my truck, he refused and said, If I have to unload you im gonna charge you. Long story short I headed out empty.
Im from Reno and will look forward to your videos. Stay safe and keep rollin.
Thanks! I hear ya on that, I think he wanted his money from that load, even though he claimed he could find himself another truck I didn’t think so. The weight isn’t a problem but the ordeal of reloading that mess was and putting me even further behind from what I already was.
Exactly right Martin...no point in the shipper acting like that. You handle issues like that very well 😆 me ive got a little bit of a temper LOL but not near as bad as it use to be when I was younger...safe travels bro be careful!!
I do to, and stick to my guns. When he started his crap I wasn’t having it.
Great way to handle that issue, most shippers are used to barking orders at drivers without argument. They need trucks as much as we need freight so you are right when you say there should be mutual respect and courtesy.
I don’t have issues with other shippers, this guy was just trying to be a lumberjack with his sweet flannel shirt and swing his ax around. Didn’t work lol
Hey Martin you did good. No pay No play. Alice you're great. Stay safe. Both of you.
Big attitude Man. You don't need it, jobs hard enough without having an arsole telling what to do with your own truck. 👍😁Peter UK 🇬🇧
I would’ve been glad to leave his load sitting there. He did change his attitude quickly after I kindly told him to take his s#it off lol.
Thanks for all the work you do hauling supplies for the rest of us. I have always respected Truckers Great job well done
Thank you! It pays the bills too lol.
Hey Martin, just a small tip for what it is worth, keep a bottle of soapy water in the truck so if you suspect a tire of having a slow leak you can squirt on tire and if it is leaking you should see bubbles, it's what I do and it has worked out great so far.
I usually have one, couldn’t find it. Ended up leaving it at home. It stayed together till I got home and fixed it here.
@@TruckingTogether What was it? Leaking valve stem? I've had a mystery slow leak like that once, turned out to just be bad Schrader valve core. Less than a dollar to fix.
@@brnmcc01 I've had that happen several times. I've even had a bead not fully set because the tire guy didn't use enough air to blow it on and within I would say half a day I lost 60psi.
@@Truckerdaddy He should have shot a bit of starting fluid in it and threw a match at it ! :) lol. Full send. Bead gonna set, or tire blow, haha
You are so right. Unfortunately some people are always miserable. They have alittle authority and it goes to their empty head. Great seeing y'all STAY WELL & SAFE FRANKIE L.I.
Very true, dude just looked like a prick.
I left a shipper when they had a woman who was as wide as she was tall, in a white lab coat try to take my temperature for a coil in Malvern, Arkansas. I told them she is not pointing a laser gun in my face, we can use my old school thermometer, and they said they had to use their thermometer or I couldn't haul for them. So I left. Never been back. No regrets.
That’s awesome! Gotta stand up for what you believe in, I applaud that!
Hello Hey Hi and Howdy Y'allz...I just delivered in Stevensville Montana the other week... I'm still at home enjoying some time off with the family... ✌️ 💜 18 Wheelz
Thanks for the ride Martin and Alice!. Bummer the guy in Montana was such a jack wagon, Good for you for holding ground, And thanks for pronouncing Oregon correctly! So many dont. Sorry, just gets under my skin. Ha! Take care. Todd Konoske the retired trucker ( Elmira, Or. )
You mean oh-re-gaaaan? Lol
Kinda picky! Butchering "Nevada" is much worse.
And there's no noise in Illinois
I have crossfire on mine and they are very reasonable and you can keep equal air to both tires and visual for air pressure.
I agree with the other commenter I think you handled that situation very well.🙌
Thanks for taking me along for the ride today.....kinda miss it....kinda 😉
Some folks don't realize if they want to play who's the horses ass that there's people out here who are really good at it
Good video . Stay safe my friend. God bless you 🙏.
The way you checked trailer weight at the beginning..... what kind of sorcery was that?!?
Air scales that are calibrated, read off air bag pressure.
@@TruckingTogether They work pretty good as long as on level ground. Had one on a reefer trailer back in about 2000-2001. I think the trailer IIRC was a Wabash.
We buy a lot of poles out of this mill. I’ve heard a lot of truckers have the same attitude experience from there. If you ever want to bring a load to upstate NY that would be great!!!
Small world! I’m not surprised at all about guys complaining.
Beautiful truck. The big quarter fenders and the quarter fenders on the trailer are a nice touch.
Thanks! It makes it stand out from the crowd a little.
Thank you all for sharing
Good morning martin and Alice I hope all is well for you guys
You handled that Shipper like a Man , Aman
Oh wow i saw you pass exit 47 I had to stop at that truck stop on your left for fuel flatbedders for life i will never ever go back to dry vans
Agree 100%!
Martin I used to tell 100 gallons of fuel and 1 tire to haul extra weight or extra stop....... the conversation was usually pretty short
😂😂 I bet
Gotta love those type of places. Keep her sunny side up.
Thank you! You too!
God bless you brother, be safe out there
"I do what i want to do! Respect muh authority!!". 😆
😂😂
Lupus Alice, my daughter has it too, it’s awful, hope you are feeling well, she has her good and bad days.
possible. was tested for it 6 years ago they said I didn’t have it but didn’t know what I have… it’s something auto immune though for sure
Moments like these; the horse trader comes out in me; time to negotiate; "sure you can add 10,000 more for, lets say $500 extra" Really like your video
Can you add another contract to the original.
@@randyhome1544 I think most of the time your right; but it puts you on the control side of the equation; He says "I can't do that" I say " hey would love to help you guys out; lets work something" Any complaints I'd refer him to the Post Office; I hear their shipping extra boxes for free! LOL Walk out laughing.
He wasn’t the one paying, it would’ve called back on my guy and he’s good people so I didn’t want to cause waves with him. But I would’ve gladly let it sit.
Looks like a lite load I haul those out of western Kentucky to New York and Pennsylvania two high and one in the middle makes it ride good!!
It was light, I left there at 66k lbs. I was surprised!
Big Sky Brewery is owned by some acquaintances of mine from back in Michigan.
I've been to that place before and they don't use dunnage on the top bundles. The receiver had a hell of a time getting the top bundles off. Had to try and get chains around it.
They sure don’t, the receiver unloaded the bottom ones and the top one slowly flopped in place of the bottom one, looked like they’ve done it before lol
Stay safe Martin and Alice you need some grass seeds badly God bless from GA
It won’t take, to damn dry here.
Make some 2” ft metal stacks to fit your trailer. It will stop load running out
I have some. Don’t carry them because I don’t haul stuff like that usually. This load stayed on just fine too.
Hey Alice! Hate sitting in front of the computer since 7am until your eyes burn? No matter how fast you dial, the load is gone? After a few loads in the morning, nothing? You may have seen the future. In a declining market with too many trucks and too many desperate folks who don't know how to run a calculator it doesn't get any better. Maybe time to put a little thought into leasing on to a reputable carrier ( like Mercer, etal ) with a broad customer base of contracted freight for the coming inevitable lean times. Only you know your situation but don't forget to look down the road and not be the one left standing without a chair. Just saying, and please don't shoot the messenger. Love your channel and good luck.
Thanks, Mercer doesn’t allow Lease on from California last I heard do to the AB-5 law. We’re happy running your freight under our signs though, it’s who we mostly haul for.
If you ever get stuck looking for a load out of the Spokane or Post Falls ID area there's usually plywood loads out of Sandpoint ID. Unsure of what the rates are though. Stay safe.
Thanks for the heads up. I see there’s usually loads out of there on the board.
@@TruckingTogether Your welcome, and if I can remember the whereabouts of a recent contact who was watching Twitch (gaming) that person said that he was a Load broker and call when I get back out on the road. In case I was "stuck" lol So take care out there brother
Thanks! You too!
Hey Martin! I see your still hard at! Sure do like your videos. Stay safe!!
Thanks Eddy! Been hard at it fixing problem after problem lol. Think it’s time to finally roll and make some money!
Good job.
Nice looking truck.
Thank you!
Bennet Lumber in Princeton, Id does that to me every time. I never leave heavier than my contract says
I hate it, if I got paid by weight I would have been fine with it, this took forever to load and I didn’t wanna waste another 3 hours there.
That isn't done enough these days.
Don't sweat the small shit safe travels Martin
nice riding with you
Thank you!
I know it's not the way you do business
But it would be funny to look at that jag off shipper and quote
The Bandit
"Do to letters FO mean anything to you"
I keep it clean, but it’s exactly how I run my mouth lol. I did keep it clean with him, just no patience for people like that.
I once picked up some Crates that have been outside in 100 degrees heat and never ending rainstorm in Louisiana.
Then the Jerks Off says
" You got Tarp it"
I said "
Hey look at that Tag from the Customs inspector it's 9 months old.
I see the lids opening
The load got wet already.
I called the boss and told him look this load is a claim waiting to happen and they're going to put the claim right on you I told him the best thing to do is do not pick this load up because the shipper would not sign the bill that I wrote stating the condition of the load. Then one smart guy went and said you can't take pictures of the load that's illegal!!!
Yeah I hear ya on that!
When I loaded a trailer I'd ask the driver if they need fuel room.
The way it should be! Thanks for watching
hey martin im sure you already know but youre sposed to have your straps inside of the rub rail. with DOT in general having a woody tryin put truckers outta bidness you might want to sacrifice the ten minutes to put them inside.
watch our video “Long Commute” in regards to rub rail - it would take a lot more than 10 mins to put the straps inside 😂
@@TruckingTogether i stand corrected. yep forgot some people had those wacky trailers that just have stake pocket holes without a substantial rub rail. almost looks like a curtainside or conestoga trailer without either kit :) keep truckin dude
Style of trailer you can't do it . The floor and rails are 1 unit with the holes machined in
@@kalebsut Yeah or one of those trailers you can set up to be a covered wagon. Theres quite a few covered wagons here in the midwest where I am, carrying steel coils around to the Michigan car plants etc.
Don't blame you. No sense in running heavy. When I was over and the shipper asked if it was okay, I always gave the same answer. I'll do it, $1/mile over the eighty, payable in cash, right now. Nobody ever took me up on it.
I'll dodge the scale, if you pay me enough. Only had one overweight ticket, and I was good on gross, heavy on an axle. Couldn't slide the tandem enough to get it, so I had to brake slide it.
This guy here wouldn’t have none of that. He originally was having a fit because he thought I could scale 84k (since it’s a spread and I was in the PNW) 😂
@@TruckingTogether Haha, nice. But at $5 a gallon for fuel, and all the hills out that way, I also wouldn't have any of that... Up in BC you can scale 88,000 with a 5 axle, max load is 40 metric tons gross. But they don't allow spread axle I think. So some people have trailers with a separate slider to close up the spread to be legal in Canada and PNW.
thats funny i read a comment about tieing your load properly i thought the same thing at first then noticed no rub- rail. I prefer flatbedding love it I drove for COTC was wondering is it hard for a flatbed O/O
It’s not bad, just gotta keep grinding. I think the parts shortage is more of an issue right now. I’m waiting a few days for a air compressor or I’d be on a load to Texas on Wednesday.
Funny looks like the timber under those posts is round hope if that the case they do not roll around under the poles carted a lot of treated post for vineyards always used bolosters to hold them and chains and binders .
They were round posts, they stayed on just fine. Not my preferred choice of dunnage but it’s what they provided. Chains on this stuff would be constant tightening, besides the fact they wouldn’t let anyone use a chain on it, straps for this mess was the only way to go as it kept better tension when the strap stretched a little.
Why would anyone use chains on that load?
good vid enjoyed it
Thank you
Gordys truck stop in la pine has great food
They do, I got there late and they were closed how ever. I’m not much of a breakfast person so I took off.
@@TruckingTogether I’m not a breakfast person either unless it’s for dinner. If I eat in the morning I just want to go back to bed. Lol
Hurry Up & Wait except when they want you to contact them, or they want a answer from you then it's now, now, now.
Carry some soap water to find air leaks Tires or Air System ?
Stay strong brother
Thanks! You too!
Reserve St. (US93) in Missoula is always bad these days. Doesn’t matter if you’re NB or SB. They overbuilt that whole corridor and there’s no way in or out except Reserve there for everything on the west side of Reserve, and for trucks you’re basically stuck to Reserve too.
I noticed that, still beats California traffic! Lol
Get some Tireject for your tires it will help stop most leaks
I’ll check it out. Thanks!
If you cant find the leak, take off the tire and check the rim for a crack.
Had a 17.5 rim which I thought would never be possible and sure enough...hairline crack.
Keep up the good work and have a great day.
Thanks Tony. Had a big nail in the tire.
Good for you, I did that at US Steel guy refused to load me, I said ok started to get my coil racks and lumber together he said what are you doing I said you won't load me so I am going to find another load, he says you can't do that I said watch me, I said you tell your boss why I left. Truckers get treat like shit.
The one in Gary? I got banned for 30 days out of that one for some BS about 20 years ago. I hate US steel!
Atlas tube in Chicago sucks too! I got there and they told me it would be a few hours. After couple hours called broker and told him I’m not sitting here any longer, told the shipping office too and left, found a different load.. 2 days go by, I’m not even kidding 2 days!! Atlas calls and says they’re ready for me to pull in and get loaded 😂😂😂😂
From my personal experience, a lot of these little rinkadink businesses are ran like shit with no communication between their office and their shipping docks. Their employees are paid $12/hr and nobody gives a shit.
@@TruckingTogether 😳OMG, beyond crazy.
watch-out driving in Oregon and WA with your straps on the outside of the rub rails... they will pul you in the scale house. Your straps are supposed to be inside those, the idea is, if you rub the trailers on something it does not cut the straps. Also you need a fuel tax permit to run in Oregon. they don't play the ifta game. It's a $500 ticket if you don't have one. don't ask how I know.... lol
trailer doesn’t have rub rails - Western Trailers don’t come with them from the manufacturer
There is no law saying you need to have straps inside rub rails, besides who ever told you this is telling you a tale. Most trailers that originated in the NW do not even have a rub rail, same as my western trailer, which does not have a rub rail, so that being said. Please tell me how I’m supposed to run straps inside the rail, when I do not have one??- Martin.
@@TruckingTogether just giving you a heads up on what I know from running those states for the past two years. take it or leave it my man.
@@TruckingTogether by the way their is a law... you so sure of yourself. lmao

Fontaine revolution were the 1st flatbed I hauled with that had that style of rails. Hauled alot of drywall with them
Just a suggestion I see another owner operator that uses Truck Smarter for a load board and it shows a map to show you how far you are from the pickup point. Just a suggestion Alice.
just truckin?
He doesn’t truck enough to need a load board…. Martin
Truckstop offers that too, I usually know where I’m at and how far away I am from where I need to be. I see that most load boards are the same these days.
you should have felt at home in Missoula, it's nothing but California transplants
😂😂😂😂 probably, I didn’t. I’m not from California either.
Dooner is a nut🤣👍🏿
He’s awesome! 😂
LoL ! i ve loaded many lumber loads but never round one ! LoL ! Lumber on a super B-train ! we call it super because the lead has 3 axles and the pup got 2 axles ! A regular B-train has 2 axles on the lead ! So i can put an average of 90,000 lbs + Canada provinces ave different weight limits ! the load on my logo is steel pipes ! took the picture after tarping it ! 4 tarps that was back in early 90s ! that was 80,000 lbs load ! well ! i m texting while listening ! I love trailers with tire air flow on all tires ! i don t know how we call that system ! if a tire is low there s a white light on the front driver s side of trailer going on ! I never paid attention on your videos if you hauled those ? i m guessing yes ! LoL
Steel pipe? Yes I’ve hauled it. That looks awesome, B-trains are cool. I ran them in Michigan running steel, 8 axle set up. Tandem and a 9’ spread on pup, then quad and 9’ spread on lead. Tandem 9 quad 9 is what they were called.
@@TruckingTogether Hi ! yes ok ! cool ! that s as far as i was goimg across the borders Detroit to unload and then back in Canada > Early 90s i did 2 Montreal-California unload and load fruits for back home Montreal food terminal . And a few years later i went to Boston with a load of Granit ! one block each trailer total of 93,000 lbs for the 2 blocks ! I was overweight in Quebec so i got a ticket on the last scale before entering USA ! then had to drop one trailer and go deliver my lead but they didn t have time to unload ! the guy was already gone ! so i went bob-tail to get my pup and then came back with the 2 ! LoL was not allowed B-train there ! so that was all my USA experience ! and it was all illegal ! since i had 2 crim...recor...one canadian and one American ! LOL ! did some time in San-Diego back in 1980 ! LoL !
Take care be safe. That's right they want to put accident on they pay more I used to go through the same thing. With my backhauls. I only had a I pulled a 42 ft utility trailer without side frames I didn't have to deal with coils they sent me to place one time I told my goodness they was pissed I didn't care. I don't know then California Eureka I can haul 52,000 legally. So my back holes I told him I could only hold 4546 at the most Canadian penny worth a damn to begin with. And if they wanted to put extra they had to pay for it or I wasn't all in it I mean even on the rig but I was responsible for it. Well big rid take care and be safe keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down and hammerdown 10-4 Rodger d don't forget the 10.100.10.120. That occasionally pisses her off. Means pissing on a tire that's what I called it kissing a tire off😁🤣😊😎👍🏽🤙🏾🙋🏽♂️.
Be safe 🙏 👍🙋♂️
Thanks!
Yep I had a tire that used to lose pressure, but not all the time. It turned out to have a small metal spike in it. But it only leaked when it was parked and it was pressed against the Road.
that ended up being our problem - will show it in the upcoming episode “Fixing Fancy” in a couple of days
Nice lookin truck
Thanks junior.
hey guys short time sub but love the vids thanks for the content ....also that air hose is legit I never seen one like that
they are awesome can’t believe how many times it’s come in handy. There’s a link to the one we have on the video description if you wanted one
curiosity: did DOT back off on load securing standards? In '98 when I was pulling a skateboard, it was standard to put at least one gut-wrap in the middle of load bundles like the one at about the 02:30min mark.
They did not, still need to gut wrap, I have 2 on there.
@@TruckingTogether ah gotcha brutha, just didn't see it lol - also thank you for replying -- for those that are unfamiliar with "gut wrapping" bundles, the gut wrap acts as a choker so if a load shifts, it pinches in tighter on the inner pieces of the bundle further restricting the movement of those inner pieces.
You don’t want the bottom moving with a stack on top lol. I hauled some fencing once that was nightmare
Hey Martin Alice ❤
Oh man, you have Lupus, my daughter has that also, it’s awful!
Alice was tested for it, supposedly doesn’t have it.
@@TruckingTogether Ok, that’s good.
If it helps my trailer tire is doing the same thing I think it’s the valve stem. ✌🏼❤️
It was a 5” nail with the head missing. It wasn’t leaking unless I was sitting. Thought it was the valve too but that checked out.
@@TruckingTogether Glad you found it. It’s amazing what you can run over and tire still stays together.
Hey why do you not put staps inside the rub rails
Just heard truck smarter pulls all your load boards into one they have a 24 to 48 hour truck factering on paying you
Great app. makes searching the load board so much easier.
I like to Wrap those if I can, I can't stand the " Babysitting" Loads.
I have had many. Takes the fun out of the trip.
I love flatbeds
You should have had wedges at the corner of each stack. I found out the hard way!
Honestly it never moved an inch but I can see wedges helping
Straps need to go inside of rub rail 👌
Look closer.
Watch the load board they said it will be fun they said 😆😝. Not!!
Lol it sucks!!
Idk bro bad juju coming to California truckers with MY truck MY trailer MY name on the door! Be careful of the ka ka you dish out on your way up the ladder ,,you may have to eat it on the way back down ; )
😂😂😂😂🌚🌚 can’t wait broseph.
@@TruckingTogether I only say that because of the new California laws coming down on your asses. Other than that that was the direction I was going to go driving heavy equipment I love that s*** that's why I watch your channel good luck my friend: )
Excuse the colorful language but I’ll be to the point. I don’t give a fuck about ca law. Thanks for watching!
Hi Martin , does your insurance cover your right hand windscreen?
No. Deductible not worth it.
One problem Martin. those straps should be on the inside of that rub-rail. You can actually get a ticket for that. other than that you strapped a neat-looking load.
Watch video titled “western traffic jam”. It will explain all….. oh and you won’t get a ticket for it.
That trailer has no rub rail on it.
@@brnmcc01 All flatbeds have rub rails.
@@jpbugalou no, not this one. Martin explained it in a previous comment.
Hate to break it up to you but" straps inside the rails, it's a big fine per violation"each straps"
GOD bless!
Hate to break it to you.. This trailer doesn’t have a rub rail - thanks though!
How did you heat up your food? Microwave or a stovetop on board??
I have a microwave.
Why no headache rack Martin?
I’ll be honest. They’re ugly.
I wonder if she likes horses? 🤔
eh kinda.. not obsessed by any means lol
What is that air tool he has to feel his tires on the go?
it’s in the description box, it’s a air line that connects to the gladhand to supply air - wouldn’t truck without one!
Have had that happen before and shipper was hell bent they were adding weight. I told them to remove the load and they refused. I unstrapped and dumped it right there. Never saw so many jaws drop at one time. There is a contract in place when you show up. You are there to haul a certain amount or specific order. Additional requires adjusting the rate and a new contract.
I was supposed to get a “full load” but found out it was 13 bundles per customer buying the product. So naturally I stuck to that lol. Hey less weight pulling all those mountains coming out of there and better mpg. The rates are garbage out of there as is so might as well take advantage.
@@TruckingTogether exactly. You were there to haul an order, so why would you haul more than what was ordered? Can't add stops to the load because that is fraud if it's not on what the broker contracted with you. Every rate con, bol, and log are all federal documents. It is a crime to lie, disguise or omit pertinent information on them.
I got Conway fined one night for hiding 31,000lbs of hazmat within the load on a food grade reefer trailer. I had no hazmat endorsement and was told if I opened the paperwork, my company bought the load. The cover sheet, "BOL", was so vague and blatantly disguising something so I opened the paperwork and found what was really in the trailer. My mistake to move it without knowing what was in there but I called the weigh station a few miles away and they sent troopers to me. They crawled the trailer front to back and fined the life out of Conway for it.
That’s crazy! Can’t believe Conway would do that!
@@TruckingTogether some companies take risks thinking they will get away with it because someone doesn't have that much experience out here. At the time I was still new to driving, in my first year. Been driving 10 years now and I don't pull any punches with the shippers, receivers or brokers. While I am far from knowing everything, I know more than enough to generally keep myself from getting screwed over.
F*ck yeah I've done the same. Called the broker cancelled the load and told the foreman get this shit off my truck because if I do it there's gonna be a fucking mess
Sometimes you gotta do just that!
The best jokes I ever heard come from a truck driver at a Colorado. I loaded thousands of trucks in a mill that I’ve worked at. Lumbermill drove a big forklift I’m sorry to say I’ve seen some pretty stupid truck drivers. Seen a couple of them walk right off of the loud hit the ground like a big flat tarp.
Truck on truckers keep it going
Lol that’s bad!
Do have spare tires for the trailer?
No. Sold the trailer a while back.
What’s that triumph site u check a brokers credit ?
You have that be a member. We currently factor with them.
Once word is out on certain Shippers Truckers generally refuse the load, or, just try to deal with the Shipper in a professional, condescending manner, if all else fails, then I leave the load sit!
Agreed.
They don't move if you belly wrap the bundles....
They didn’t move, they were belly wrapped. Love the name 😂😂
😎👍🏻
i hated when shipper's pulled that sh*** alot in the refer game
Yeah, reefer is a total different ball game. They have the advantage usually.
