    Most intersting Load so far?

    Mine was a human heart going from PIT to a small town about 85 miles north of Pittsburgh and I only had 2-hours to get the heart to the O. R. After the plane landed and I received the package I only had 112 minutes left. If I was late, making delivery of the heart, the person may have died. Talk...

    Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite Few?

    RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F It may not be any of my business nor am I part of the Mod Squad anymore (or do you not call it that) but I think both you LM and you too Dave are reading the post of McBride and interpreting it in the wrong manner. She stated To top it off...

    6 inches short of being dock high.

    Ateam thanks for pondering and pointing out the unthought-of possible problems and other issues I wasn’t aware of. Although the truck is only a 14ft box with a GVW of 12k and a forklift does not enter the truck box to load and/or unload, at times I do get loaded and/or unloaded by electric...

    6 inches short of being dock high.

    My Question!!! I have a 14ft box truck that is 41” from ground to box floor. I do have a 1600lb lift gate on the truck that will raise 15”above the floor of the truck calling the gate “powers beyond”, which is a big help. I carry a set of ramps that I made so when I need to be dock high I set...

    Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite Few?

    RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F Very well put Tom. I noticed you addressed your post to Free Sprit (who started a great thread herself) and possibly reminded her of Mr. Ateam’s shortcomings (could one of them be --- pretending to be someone he is not? We all have one or...

I have been driving the “C unit”, (get bored sitting at the office all...

    All Types personal expierence

Most may only do this as a means of satisfying their customer. I true responsible IC should have a plan of action in place in case this were to happen but we...
