Looks to me like it was just a tractor and they put a box on it without extending the frame. I didn't see landing gear in the back so a heavy battery powered forklift truck would probably lift the front end and tip the rear of the box onto the ground.

RE: Excited to get started in the Expediting Busin Of course the crusing lifestyle can get boring,going to those same islands all the time.Expediting takes you to all sorts of new and exciting places.Nothing like going into JFK airport on a Friday, or driving up Van :censoredsign: in Detroit on Friday...

Well of course it depends on the miles you put on.I usually get one oil change and lube each month. That runs about $1800 or so a year. Other maintenance usually comes to about $2000 without tires so your $5k is realistic in my mind.I drive about 100,000 miles a year.I am also a conservative...

Sorry to hear that you got stiffed.But the ratio is probably 10 to 1 for drivers stiffing fleet owners. A driver looks real good on paper,goes out in the owners vehicele,decides this life is not for him and abandons the vehicle wherever he feels like it.Many owners spend time and dollars...

Two 80 year old ladies that live in a nursing home would go outside every afternoon to have a shot and a beer plus their cigarettes. One afternoon it started to rain and one of the woman pulled out a condom,cut the end off and put it over her cigarette. The other lady asked her "Why are you...

RE: Now I'm not sure if expediting is the way to g Well if you fired them,it seems like they could fire you.The words are the same,you were not happy with them,perhaps they were not happy with you.It does seem to be somewhat ungratefull on your part,in that a long time experienced expediter...

In the camping equipment area of walmart/K Mart you can find a propane powered catalytic heater ,sells for about $45.00.There is no flam so it is safe to use indoors.The heat comes from a chemical reaction. These heaters are primarily sold to the rv/tent crowd but work very well in a truck.A...
