    Cargo van Info

    Wow. $19.5K for a new 1 ton X is nice. That price is not too far from believable. When I was pricing a new '04 2500HD Express the local commercial dealer gave me a great price of $17K. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet. Owner/Operator Big 'B' Experienced 10 years auto transport 2...

    Dock Height

    The dock high thing has been biting me in the butt here of late. I have been looking into purchase of another truck under 26K GVW and I am seeing a lot of trucks with low profile tires. I have not broke out my tape measure yet to see where they stand height wise. According to everything I could...

    6 inches short of being dock high.

    While my previous reply to Tony was in jest I too have the problem of being too short with the 'Big B'. The more I think about how to solve the problem the more my answer comes back as 'buy a dock high truck'. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet. Owner/Operator Big 'B' Experienced 10...

    6 inches short of being dock high.

    Hey Tony glad to see you posting again! So I gotta ask. Is being "6 inches short of being dock high" like having too much hole in you doughnut? Or maybe being one pallet short of a full load? Best wishes! -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet. Owner/Operator Big 'B' Experienced 10 years...

    First Load.....Trial by Fire! (pics too!)

    Thanks for the reply Preacher. I was asking about the trailer. What is the GVW on the trailer? From your previous reply I am assuming the trialer is 15K# as the F-350 is 11K# IIRC. Also, another dumb question. Do you have a medical card? I thought if you drove any truck/combination in...

    Hand Trucks and Pallet Jacks, Good Prices

    I just two weeks ago bought a Wesco Spartan SR convertible hand truck from that same store. The price was the great and included free ground shipping. Their service was good and the item was as described. I would buy there again without hesitation. Good post Ateam. -- Mike N Faster than a...
