March 22-24 Kentucky Exposition Center. Have you made your plans to be there? We are hoping to get to MATS on the 21st and park in the RV section that does not have hookups. It does cost to park in this area but we have easy access to take Molly for walks during the day. We are hoping for...

We have a 3300lb 6'X 8' lift gate. We can easily fit a pallet and a pallet jack on ours. Before we bought ours we helped other people and used their lift gates at that time we determined for our peace of mind we wanted a lift gate we felt safe on. Ours has several safety features that we...

Another one that we have heard of people leaving is there pallet jack. We have just installed a camera in the box so we can also keep track of our equipment while not allowed on the dock. It does still all come down to you if you are the one that shuts the doors you need to make sure...

Louixo you can always get a laugh out of us! Good One

There is nothing nicer though then that fan when you are parked at a customer and all is calm. We also do not use ours all of the time but when we do have a chance we really enjoy it. We also have the rain sensor and that is a really nice item to have.

This is the site for the fans http://www.fantasticvent.com/ TerryandRene' bought their fan from http://members.aol.com/fantasticvent/ for their van. They are very happy with where they bought the fan and also with the dealer they bought the fan from. We also have a fan and we really enjoy...

Thank you Jeff for the update and also for the address. We really appreciate it.

You sure don't want to see us coming your way right now! We have a hook on the back of the truck and we are dragging the snow and ice with us. One thing we have found is how much it costs in the winter to keep your truck clean. I have been amazed in the last two months how much we have spent...

Finances are a huge part of this business. The odds of making it are not very good without a good solid plan and some money put away for a rainy day. When you have sat a few days, the stress it a lot less when you know you have a cushion. You are also in a lot better position to make sound...

Tennesseahawk - we have been across part of US-36 in Missiouri. We are really beginning to wonder if winter will ever be over. I was pretty amazed when I looked at one of our reports and saw how much we have spent on truck washes. The salt is sure hard on Chrome.

We are finally out of Iowa!! Boy if we ever see another sheet of ice in our lifetime it will be to soon. What a mess they have up there and it will take awhile to get the cars and trucks out of the ditches around Des Moines. One good thing about all this we are sure running good. BamBam...

This a really good post. I was driving just the other day and a car lost two bikes and the rack of the back of the car. Another car in the hammer lane hits the bikes and sends them into my lane. I was in a good position as I was next to an on ramp. I checked my mirrors quickly and moved over...

Nice list and I am sure there are more out there!

RE: Count your blessings, don't sweat the small st Not very many days go by while out here on the road we are not thankful for the job we have, the freedom we have, the friends we have, the position in life we are at now, and our future. When you watch the sun come up on another wonderful day...

We also have never met them but have sure heard great things about them. Our prayers are with both of them.

First I would really research a Sprinter and the costs. Second I would look at what companies are putting on Vans and there is a reason for this. Then I would seriously start looking at straight trucks. A straight truck can go almost everywhere a RV can go. Hope to see you at MATS!

Good post and one to think about. I do feel though that the carriers lose when an experienced contractor moves on. It is not cheap to keep training new people.
