I agree with Mikey. (Sorry about that. It's the Life Cereal thing). 200K on an expedite van with the owner as the driver is nothing in most cases. 200k on city P & D van with multiple drivers is a major concern. While mileage and age are the main and often the only criteria defining a used...

Rhodes, way cool! The first Die Hard movie along with 3 Days Of The Condor and Ransom rank among my all time favorite "turn the tables" movies as in don't mess with the messer. Cool Hand Luke is one of my all time favorite movies. The protagonist dies in the end; but did he really lose?

Leo, we went around and around with this a few years ago. A standard 4-way pallet measures 48 x 40. This is the gold standard. Or if you are into CHEP pallets, the blue standard. Yea I know a pallet is a pallet is a pallet. A pallet could be 48 x 72 loaded with Formica® or it could be 12"...

The Sullivan Brothers were from Waterloo, Iowa. There is a civic center or auditorium or something named in their honor. Waterloo is also the home to the Grout Museum, which I wrote about on these very same pages. Although most of it, well all of it was a fragment of my imagination. I have...

Rarely. I'm on record with my carrier as having 100" available length. Over the years I can only think of a few times I used more than 100". I always had the option to collect "dry run" pay if the shipment exceeded my specified dimensions. I did load a 16' shipment of overhead door track...

Sure you can. I've done it. Just turn one or more. Every 48" x 40" pallet you turn, you gain 8".

Thanks Dakota. Here is a picture of me 80 pounds lighter after a hard weekend of constructing my bunk.

I'm working with Hellbound on a story about the time a LEO asked him to back out a plane that got stuck in the World Trade Center tower. This happened on or about September 11, 2001. Hellbound will be posting the story later this year or early next year. Please be patient!

I prefer coffee. Coffee is brewed from the coffee bean which is a seed of the coffee plant. Plants are natural and organic because they have root things that grow in dirt. Dirt is like actually natural and super organic. Coffee beans consist mostly of endosperm that contains 0.8 - 2.5 %...

My first van I copied an Alumi-Bunk setup I saw. It had a 30" bed behind the seats and a bulkhead behind that. Immediately I found that this was not going to work for me. Within a few weeks I tore it out and started over. I built a split insulated bulkhead with a crawl through behind the...

Same here! The guy in the Reader's Digest article: "Drama In Real Life" received a commendation from the Southern Alabama Police Society. I sure hope Hellbound gets recognized by the Eastern and North Eastern Michigan Alliance for his heroic deeds.

2.5 million dollars went for the 30 second Superbowl ad.

The original post; "Scoring Brownie Points In Michigan" reads very much like the April 2006 Reader's Digest, "Drama In Real Life: Attaining Attaboys In Alabama." Or maybe it was "I'm Joe's Spleen." Gotta drink em before you can return em.

It could keep you from rolling out of bed though!

That could be the motivating factor.

Yea it is kinda funny but I think someone is laughing at you, not with you.

What I can't figure out is if they intended to unload the shopping carts or had just finished loading them. On first view it appeared the carts were too near the end of the trailer for the dock plate lip to flip out. So the dock guy rode the plate down and was going to drop the plywood to...
