[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 87237, member: 1957"] feeder, Some suggestions that might enhance your feeder experience: 1) go to the fabric store and buy enough black felt that, when double-layered, will block out all outside light through your bedroom windows. 2) go to a welding shop and have them make a "pin puller" so you don't tear up your shoulder pulling your fifth wheel pin repeatedly. This device is nothing more than a steel rod (about the thickness of a pencil) about 2 1/2 feet in length with a hook at one end and a handle at the other. Those pins are hard enough to pull anyway....just wait until you have tension on the latch then it's harder if not impossible. Keep your pin puller in your cab and your locker because it will disappear quickly. 3) Slow down NOW. You're not in pkg cars anymore. I continually see new feeder drivers going like hell. That feeder is too big, too heavy and not as manueverable as a pkg car so you can't whip in and out of traffic. 4) Don't hit anything (refer to suggestion 3). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
