Haven't gotten around to it yet.
My welder hasn't had a day available to weld the mids to the rest of the system.
I could do it myself, but my welds look like brain tumors...

2 tricks I use for this exact scenario:
1. Crush a handful of biscuits up into crumbs and toss it into the bushes. The dogs will go searching for the crumbs while you continue driving up to the house.
2. Stop, open the BH door, toss cookies in back, and once all the dogs are back there shut the door and continue driving up to the house. You cannot run over a dog that is in your truck.

My money would be on the springer getting him first. Them springers are weird dogs. One minute they love you and the next minute they will rip your face off.

4. Drive at a slow but steady pace----the dogs will move.
"Bring biscuits"----yeah, I don't think so.

The reason dogs circle the truck is because the previous driver brought biscuits. I ain't got time for dogs.

And I don't have time to call in an accident report for running over a dog
I keep a couple of biscuits in my shirt or coat pocket as well as a box in the back. It doesn't take any time at all out of my day to toss biscuits. Dealing with dogs out in the country is part of the job and when you deliver to the same rural area for 20+ years you get to know the people and their dogs and dealing with them becomes part of the routine. None of the dogs that were on the route when I bid it in 1994 are still alive; an entire generation or two of new dogs have replaced them in the subsequent 20 years and during that time period I have NEVER run one over and neither I nor my relief drivers have EVER been bitten. Several on this forum have been critical of the manner in which I deal with dogs and hand out biscuits but the fact is that my success rate in regards to avoiding dog bites and accidents stands at 100% so you cant really argue with my results.

I have the same situation the Soberups has. In fact, many of his photos remind me of the "buddies" I have on my route. I give biscuits to all the dogs on my area. They hear the truck and they know their friend is here. I've had more customers tell me that I am the only delivery driver their dog likes and being kind to their pups has generated some nice tips.

That's not the point.
I love dogs but when I am working I don't have time to play Noah.
Drive at a slow but steady pace and the dogs will move out of the way.

If the driveway is half a mile long its a lot quicker to throw some biscuits out and haul ass up to the house while the dogs look for them.
