    2009 Mid-America Trucking Show

    We enjoy the show and would love to go. If we find ourselves close we will. We won't be going out of our way this year, we have to work as much as we can to recover from this cargo box saga. FedEx has a breakfast for drivers every year. It is a great place to catch up with friends and exchange...

    Cargo Box Update

    White Glove requires a wood floor. Ours has the screw holes sealed and has two coats of polyurethane. I think you are asking about a "skinny bun". No, TVAL does not allow them to be used. I would have prefered a non-skid metal floor, so does TVAL. We talked with White Glove but they won't budge...

    Cargo Box Update

    That is a very interesting method for storing your gear Phil. I would like to see a set of pics on it. Our shelfs can be moved. We use E-Track 2X4 sockets to hold them. On the odd chance we have a piece of freight that is over 19ft (only twice in 2 years) we just raise the shelfs up to a higher...

    Do you mean Air Tabs? I hope to later this year. I would love to now but money is soooooo tight having been out of service for so long. I have talked with several who have them and they all love them. For the time being I will have to focus on the basics only. Oil changes etc. I will be...

    Cargo Box Update

    Pictures will follow a bit later. I don't want to get in the way of those working on getting the truck ready for TVAL testing. We are still hoping to get into FedEx for testing on the 29th, if not, we will make the Jan 5th date for sure. Layoutshooter

    Cargo Box Update

    I am now sitting in the drivers lounge at Morgan in Janesville, WI. What fun!!!!!!!!!! Anyone want to know the news from a July 22nd paper? It is so cold here I would have to use heat in the cargo box to get it up to -25c!!!!!!!!!! All joking aside, I am sooooo happy to be here and have the work...

    ID on Equipment

    Good point Leo. I had not thought of that. I guess it is time to break down and by an ingraver to mark stuff. I think I would still use the duct tape on the big stuff in addition to ingraving, just to make it easy to spot. It might help me see it on the dock better. Layoutshooter
