16. Densa: For those of us not qualified for Mensa

Thanks Bob, and thanks for calling in. It was good to hear from an old friend and forum member Terry

Thanx for the Kudos. That was about the fastest five hours I've ever spent. We enjoyed ourselves a lot thanks to Dave Nemo who is a great host and a class act. Lawrence has added another notch on his belt in showing that EO is quite a bit more than a forum where the idle among us enjoy the...

Let me know if you decide to market a model with a 3" opening.

You, errr.. your friend were lucky in that the company didn't hire someone else to redeliver. This seems to be a fairly common practice, delivering a load to the right building but the wrong companies dock door. Think about how many times the receiving clerk never looks at the BOL before signing.

LDB and BROOMPILOT touched on the problems they have had in putting together a straight truck for use in expediting. DAVEKC often discusses the pro's and con's of spec'ing reefer box additions. ATEAM has posted many comments regarding his truck spec'ing adventures. And, EO workshop speakers...
