valarltdEverything went fine until Newport
Then the liftgate quit working.Dispatch had me look and sure enough,I could fix it...sorta.
I spent half an hour under a trailer, stripping a ground wire with a pocket-knife in order to get my lift-gate working again.
Got it, and moved the rest of the freight to the side door (there was little left)
97 degrees. 70% humidity, on asphalt. I think I melted.

I thought you always carried an old blanket with you, just in case.
Take a lot of the discomfort out of the hot asphalt & rocks.
