    Two big customers are reefer only products so not surprising. I think there is also an element of once you hook to one you kinda get stuck with it for a while doing backhauls.

    Only thing I dislike about reefer is dealing with broker loads from those mega food distributors. They always seem to have the most red tape and take the longest.

    I call my ladder the $23,000 ladder. 10 years ago I fell off it and had to have knee surgery, that cost $16,000. 3 years later I missed the bottom step and rolled my ankle, that was a hairline fracture that cost $7000. Now I supervise and send my wife up the ladder.

    Sheesh, JB. I was an electrician for most of my working career. I fell a couple of times, but never got hurt on one. My knee injuries were football and non ladder work related injuries. Once, I was climbing a wooden light pole when my spike slipped mid step and I fell 15ft onto concrete. That was my first right knee injury. My knees and I don't speak much any more, but my left one that I injured back in 1981 while playing football has been hollering at me the last two days.

    I need a full body off restoration.

    My wife wants me to get rid of the ladder, I can't, it reminds me every day why I don't climb up ladders anymore.

    Why does "Bird on a Wire" come to mind?

    That's one pricey ladder.
