If there was a problem with posting these photos on the internet, they surely would not be. This was a non-security jobsite that I choose not to reveal. Typically I don't feel the need to every time I post a thread on any internet forum to name the location. In many cases it unimportant to the...

OK, heres the scoop. This jet was being scrapped out. The airframe no longer would pass FAA requirements, so it made its last flight here. Then the salvaging process began until the final stage which is scrapping. The track-hoe seen in the photo has a claw instead of a bucket. The claw is...

Now for you ex deck haulers and what nots out there, in looking at the photo of the landing gear, its obvious that it will have to be loaded standing up on the deck. So, if you were faced with the task of securing this piece safely and without damaging it, how would you do it? What would you do...

This past week we were dispatched to an undisclosed site to load a full set of landing gear off of a DC-10 cargo jet. The first photo below is one of the two main gear. When we arrived where we thought we were to load the gear, we were quickly told that no it was out on one of the runways...

Reading this thread makes us reeeally appreciate having our own shower. Granted we were not always that fortunate! Twenty-five plus years of showering in a multitude of truck stop showers did bring on a few foot issues along the way. Thankfully nothing serious. Even in your own shower, be it...

Heres three JT-8 jet engines on our deck ready to unload at a rebuild shop. Note they are minus the aft (tail) sections. After rebuilding them, they will be shipped to an FAA approved test site and fired up before being hung on an awaiting aircraft.

Many times before we load a newly rebuilt jet engine, they are test fired and ran before being released and shipped back an awaiting aircraft. Also brand new engines and engines that have sat in inventory to long without being run are required to go through the same process. How do you test a...

According to news reports on WESH Channel Two News today a FECC tractor trailer unit broad sided a passenger vehicle at an intersection in Orlando, FL. Two persons were tranported to the hospital with injuries. The extent of the injuries were not given in the report. The cause of the accident...

The internet forums can be a fun but dangerous place to interact with people. There are many different personalities and ways that people think mixed together in one big pot. Sometimes there are disagreements between members on the forum that end up in personal attacks. People say things that...

Amen!!! Actually, theres been two shows so far. One on BBC Channel and the other with the Expediter. I would think drugs or alcohol are needed to turn the fantasy into reality, or just one sick pup!!! LOL Do you think their Mothers bought them GI Jane instead of GI Joe when they were kids?

Thats right Pelicn. We were originally attracted to expediting because of the interesting freight potentials and cool places we would get to pick up and deliver at along with the revenue possibilities. Never thought it might include delivering a doll. We did haul neat stuff with FECC and...

OK, I guess you don't know who you are (or are to embarrassed to admit you did such a load) and the rest of us are stumped. So here are some clues: The crate had "Tiffany" stenciled on the door and no you were'nt hauling lamps. The crate was a custom crate complete with a padded seat and...

Which one of you was it that delivered the silicone sex doll to the guys house after he sent her to the repair shop to have her loose joints repaired? Seriously. While channel surfing on the TV there was a show about men and their doll sex partners. The one in question was loaded onto an...

Colonel, that is what you are isn't it? You really need to learn how to use the "check spelling" option on this website. Your misspelled words really make you look illiterate dude! I count at least seven misspelled words in one little reply of yours.

I think I blew your doors off a while back. Somebody forgot to shut the jet engine off before they loaded it on my deck. It was the fastest run I've ever done to the west coast. We even beat the jet it was going on to the airport!!! Moose, check your mailbox for a laugh!

I guess x06col and I need to settle our differences with a good old biker style scuffle in the parking lot. I'll bring the chains! :D So, game on Colonel? Is x06col really a ex Colonel or is that just a name? :p

Are you psychic Doggie Daddy? How did you know that I was waiting for that version of the EO sticker to come out? LOL :p

Maybe by sharing the "delimas" with the community, ideas can be collectively interjected to help find a solution. But first the problem (delima) has to be shared. So Col, what I "don't understand" is why you feel that you have to make issue over my $1000 custom leather seats or my ten $600...

Really Col, tale of how tuff it is out there? Its greater here than it ever was the five years I was with FECC! The delimas you state are in fact things we've experianced that we felt by sharing with the EO community just might prepare someone else in dealing with it rather than being...

Moose, Since you were kind enough to remove your "not called for" post, rather than responding publically I will privately respond to you. Gary
