    If your company is charging a fuel surcharge, then no your not entitled to part of it, just the linehaul.

    Horrors. I was helping a friend do some remodeling on his house. He had a really hands on daughter. She told her boyfriend how to do an oil change on a 4 cylinder Volvo. "Remove the drain plug, drain out the old oil, replace the oilfilter, put the plug back in, and fill it back up." He filled it up alright. All the way to the top of the valve cover.

    I miss carrying my thermos. Sounds silly. But the old green thermos was like wearing boots.

    I'm a bit late on this, 124 post behind. :eek: This I what I do with my 2" tails. There is a sewn in loop on the ratchet end. I always look to get the ratchets with the biggest loop available, so I can stuff like 22' of tail in if I have that much excess..

    Thank you for those pics. That's how I do it. Some ratchets don't have those open loop in the strap, and so I make absolute sure before purchasing that they are ones that do. Makes securing the excess so much neater.

    Ratchet straps, take tail end under slot instead of over. Roll up end,tuck under like u do with winch straps. Tightens everything up.
