They would run me off the first day.
I may get 3 sets hooked in 8 hrs, providing the weather was warm.

Always thought I wanted to be a hostler, I just never had nerve to bid the job.
One can only imagine 8 hrs of jiffing.

No more greasy jiffing throw away that apron it’s only good for the misses at thanks giving .You most likely never had to Jiff up in the snow ,Being from the south. I’d always find a trailer to back under to move the 5th wheel up..My wife asked me why do you keep a piece of wood in your travel bag .It’s a trade secret.

I've never given it much thought, but since you mentioned it, I don't recall hooking a jiff in the snow.
I hooked a lot of sets when I ran the Carolina board, as for snow, I have run my share, but nothing like you North end guys.
This could be the reason they called me (Panama Hat)

The Jiff locks really sucked and so did the Joe Dogs .They just made your single axle a hole lot longer.I’ve never seen that many out east here.
