Gotta have sumtin to cry about, eh?

Sitting at our pickup in Philly, waiting to load, headed for L.A. :D

Yeah, I have been looking at it. Just like most of this stuff it is more about ways in increase revenues than anything else. I will continue to do as I have been doing and as I replace worn equipment I will insure that it has markings on it. If I can find any that does.

There is one huge difference between presidents of late and earlier ones. Past presidents at least pretended to respect the people of the country. Past presidents as least pretended to respect the military who's lives they hold in their hands. I don't know about you ShadowPanda, but I have a...

Thanks to which ever mod moved this.

A friend of mine hit an estimated 300lb male bear with his Subaru Justy, the bear won.

How stupid of me Piper1. I have always held to the idea that if it does not make sense on the surface, and it cannot be explained so it makes sense, then it is not worth the effort on anyone's part. Without minimum requirements for the strength of the sides of the truck, nothing else matters...

I am going to have to ask Morgan. I got no book with this box. I have yet to have any freight move, I guess I have just been lucky so far? I secure it to the point of sometimes making shippers mad for taking the time to do it. I use multiple bars and straps on every load.

This thread should be in the soapbox and I cannot move it. Bush did not start this war, we have been involved since at least 1979 when our embassy was attacked in Iran. Most likely long before that. There are not multiple wars, one in Iraq, one in Iran etc. Just as there were not 2 WWII's...

Ok, I have a 5000# load. My load bars are rated for 2000# I would need 6? 3 in front of the load, 3 in back. Or, can it be a combination of load bars and straps? Straps alone for front to back control are a no no in my book. The other question, what are the walls (Z posts) of my truck rated...

I will check later in the week. We pick up in the morning and are not headed for Canada, this week for sure. Shoot, it the weather they are talking about happens we me be stuck till spring, then I won't worry about it! Is it just me or does it seem like governments everywhere bought new...

Find out who made it, that should be fun. I would hate to have to replace perfectly good stuff just because it is not marked anywhere. Dang gum load bars are not cheap. Any word on just how many trucks they are cutting seals on and opening up?

Ok, I was looking at my tie downs, some are marked, some are not. What is the deal with load bars? I always use load bars for front to back cargo control. I never use straps for other than side to side control. None of my load bars are marked with any kind of breaking strengths etc. Are load...

Keep us posted on your progress. There are many of us out there that are either in the same boat as you or headed down that road. Any help you can provide would be wonderful. Good luck to you.

The discount on the bigger tires is very good. The minor problems we have had are not worth worrying about.

You too. We are going to watch a little more tv, off till Tuesday then a nice big load. See ya

Might be hard, good luck. Enjoy it if you get up!! I doubt if I can do any ice fishing this year. Too busy, gotta make it while the freight is hot!!

Headed up?

Oh how I wish I could, gotta work. :( Maybe I could get a run carrying a load of wax worms for the turny? :D

Too many times. Mrs. Layoutshooter has hit 2 deer and I totaled a car on one. Not hit one with the big truck yet. Don't want too either.
