Soooo, Who was it that was in the Panther D-unit today watching my wife (and I) tarp the CFM-56 jet engine we had just loaded? You know who you are cause you were parked directly behind us in front of Cargo Bldg #706 at MIA in Miami. We saw ya lookin! LOL. Next time stop by and visit, we...

I'm sorry that you would feel that you have failed or done a poor job if you experienced a situation such as ours. No matter how well you inspect your truck you cannot be assured that the next time you lock a box while in transit from one stop to the next that the lock will work, can you? What...

For the sake of security I will share that privately with you.

Finally, you've answered my question! Since you stated you would rather leave the facility, correct the situation and then return. That tells me that you indeed feel for you to be demanded to break your equipment to allow for a security search would be an unreasonable request, correct? I totally...

Your counterpoint is respectfully considered. But I ask you again since I feel you have yet to answered the question, would you break your door at the officer's demand? Would you allow the officer to attempt to break it? In our case this is what the officer attempted until my wife yelled at him...

In the spirit of good debate: First, don't forget that I am married to a prior law enforcement officer of eleven years tenure and we have been on both sides of many "entensive" searches in the past. So by "going with the flow" are you saying that in the case of a mechanical device on your...

Recently we showed up at a security gate for a customer we regularly service. The security personel (officers) are not employees of the customer. We have been cleared through this gate many times without issue. On this particular delivery we were met with a different scenario unlike in the...

I have come up with a business plan for the future based on the upcoming 2010 emmissions regs, etc. This could catch on! When our truck is no longer compliant, rather than spend 9-10K extra on the purchase of a new compliant truck, I'm gonna pull our perfectly good ARI sleeper and Onan genset...

We to had the pleasure of meeting Nick (The Enemy) and his wife around the first of June at the Flying J in Temple,GA. They had seen our truck and private messaged us regarding a project of his which involves our rig. He wanted permission to take a series of photos of our custom truck as part of...

Good evening from Miami! Yep, still here for the night. Took advantage of some free time today and bobtailed to my old stomping grounds as a kid. Fort Lauderdale Beach, FL. Spent a lot of time there swimming, sailing and fishing. Those were the good old days! You can bet seeing our big old house...

Gooood morning from Miami!!! We woke up to this beautiful sun rise this morning. Note the Miami International Tower. We arrived last night from AR with a load of three Rolls Royce RB-211 jet engine stands. The two white ones are brand new and the yellow one is an old version of the same...

At Danny's Truck Resort in Phoenix,AZ. Temp got up to 118 degrees according to our very accurate outside thermometer. We un-hook and moved to the canopy area for shade (we're to long with our trailer) hoping it would be cooler. Only dropped down to115 degrees in the shade. Generators are failing...

Wished we had known you were in Houston Steve. We were in Dallas after delivering an engine yesterday and then got shot to Houston today to pick up an engine at the airport. We're taking it to LAX but does'nt have to deliver until Monday morning. We would have treated you two to dinner and...

If in the cab area we are usually seated either in the office chair or the cab seats thus not requiring the need for the ability to standup in the cab area. Yet we do enjoy having the headroom to do so. I think its a plus and good selling point. For those that do DDPS,etc which requires a...

That in part is true. But with a well engineered truck such as our KW T-600, you can get a "large" boot opening and not be forced to bend over to pass from the cab to sleeper area and visa-versa. Case in point: Take Ateam's 132" ARI Legacy sleeper (which is a nice build for their needs) with...

Another thing you may wish to consider is if you sell the truck for what ever reason, will the remaining warranty time left on the sleeper be transferable to the new owner? Think about it a minute. The truck manufacturer's warranty including extended warranties stay with the vehicle...

Wow! Fine italian leather you say? In this economy I can't even afford a cheap pair of Walmart underwear so I just go with out! Just kidding folks. don't go getting your panties in a wad! :p

If my comment on this subject provoked any part of this response on your part, this was not my intent. Rather it was to ask if FECC was changing the rules regarding this. In our five years leased to FECC this was not allowed on ANY unit to our knowledge (according to recruiting and WG)...

I thought that FECC does not allow side doors on the box for security reasons (drug loads,etc). At least that's what I was told when shopping for a reefer trailer to lease on. The truck in the first photo of this thread clearly does. Appearently that no longer holds true?

Thanks for the compliment! We take a lot of pride in our work. Actually that was one of our sloppier tarp jobs on an engine. All eight of our tarps are custom made for aviation freight and range from a few hundred for standard rectangular tarps to several hundred dollars each for fitted...
