    dot and the blue tooth headset............

    I got a level ll inspection today in my straight truck in New Jersey, one of the first questions the inspector asked me was where my headset was for my phone, he didn't see it on my head when I scaled, so I pointed it out hanging on my cb mic cable. He apparently was satisfied, however I did get...

    More fun in this biz than a barrel of monkees

    Solved the problem, I finally came up with a simple design for the icc bumper add-on to my maxon lift-gate. I will be using a 3.5 x 3.5 square tube with a .250 wall thickness, mounted between the left and right step on each side of the truck, it's right at the back, and just at the right height...

    More fun in this biz than a barrel of monkees

    I do carry a pallet jack, and have no problems doing it myself, however these were new docks and they have a guard at the end of the leveler, which will not work if the truck isn't locked to the dock, no one has the code to bypass it, at least no one willing to walk the extra 50' to do it.
