    Run open deck trailers, have for years, never pulled a box. I know a number of people here are box types, and maybe you get this as well.

    When the forklift driver says “ been doing this along time” or some iteration of that. Does it make you cringe?

    Yeah, that’s when that was taken.
    I should add, freight rate may have dropped since then, and I/we are not responsible for any hate, ill will, hurt feelings, rancor, or serious doubt that a dry load would pay $20k, that some may feel.

    Ok, I guess I should go to work, it’s only 85 outside and not the 95-100 it has been.
    Although I was happy watching Al..

    Thise are the exact same handles I have on my truck. You will never regret putting them on. Save alot of wear and tear on your airlines, not to mention if you are doing drop amd hook in a hurry you dont have to be as worried about breaking an airline... Especially in the cold.

    Very smart man, do you have the straight rubber lines. Or the hard plastic slinkies? I dont carry an extra set, but I do carry new ends and splices to repair anything short of theft.

    A good set of straight rubber lines will out last 3 or 4 sets of slinkies. They are expensive but we'll worth it... And IMHO they look more professional.

    This is what I've got...
