    Is there anywhere in central Florida (Orlando area) that sells flatbed equipment? Id like to find somewhere I can go to rather then pay shipping from these online sites.

    Thanks

    Second that. Chances are any local dealer is going to charge more then what it will cost to order online and pay for shipping. Ebay is a great place for flatbed equipment.

    I just Googled "crane and rigging supplies, Orlando Florida" and got results.

    I delivered some Bobcats to a place in Casper Wy that sold them for $10 and 2' ratchets with strap for $12.

    I cleaned him out of all his 4' straps and bought 8 ratchets. It wasnt until I was carrying it all out to the truck that I realized,.. "Where the heck am I gonna put all this stuff?" I still have 12 straps under my bunk and 4 or 5 ratchets I still havent used.

    Its like those loose leaf logs they sell for $3.99 at the truck stops. I can buy a box of 50 for $40 online with free delivery.
