    So today after work I ran down to Columbus, Ohio to a place in North Columbus they have fully assembled used, but in very good shape Wyse Two Wheelers for sale at a really really really good price, so good I bought not 1, but 2 of them! The one is in perfect shape new tires all that ready to roll using it tomorrow the other can be used, but needs a repair, however other then that it's ready to go.

    I never used Wyse two wheelers before, but they are probably the heaviest most well built two wheelers out there, our Magcoa's at GFS are good, but these Wyse one's are better talk about heavy duty and solid OMG!

    Anyhow turns out the industrial supply outfit I got these hand trucks from acquired all the two wheelers that the now defunct Mattingly Foods of Zanesville, Ohio had. I bought two of them and the one has a Mattingly Foods Sticker on it and branding that says property of Mattingly Foods, I bought that one as a collectors item almost LOL!

    Were getting busier at work, I've had 2 days in a row of 800 cases and that's good because I'm in the mood to make some cash getting ready here in the next week to pass another major financial threshold and want to get some momentum going. Schools are coming back and I'm getting tooled up 2-3 hand trucks should help with whipping the schools. I have two Wyse carts and then my company issued wheeler probably 3 hand trucks for one guy is over kill (probably not enough room in the trailer for all 3, but to have two and a back up that works.

    My company issued wheeler I think is a 1992 model no joke and that thing must have a million miles on it the breaks are worn on it, by the way the breaking system on the Wyse carts is a better design then the Magcoa.

    Like I told another member that I'm trying to talk into coming to work for us, a liftgate can be a blessing in disguise.

    What are those hand trucks rated for?

    How true that is.

    We have guys that complain about their routes constantly, but when presented with the chance to do something about it, be it a move to a nicer area or whatever, nothing happens.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    You're thinking of Daytons, I believe. I've been using one of those for 10 years now.

    Gosh, you guys with all your fancy hand trucks make me feel like I never really worked in the industry. We were darn lucky to have a straight up hand truck, with no bells or whistles!
