    Got pick up Canrig deliver to Bollore.
    Followed shortly by a call saying I needed the flatbed.
    Three pallets non stackable.
    Didn't actually need the 4500 for the next two.
    3 small pieces Bollore to UPS.
    1plt and 1crt for United Airlines and All Nipon Air.
    And 4 was it for the day.
    The check I got for what we all felt was a slow week was still better than 80% of what I got from Suzy's in a year or more.
    So far so good.

    Picked up in Conroe this morning. Went by the office for paperwork. Went to World Trade Houston.
    One transfer to American Airlines.
    One transfer to British Air screened Cargo.
    In the morning I gotta get the 4500 and be at Bollore at 9am. First we have to drop our riding mower in Cleveland.

    Drove their 4500 all day. 6 delivery tickets.
    Dilemma, go early and get the 4500 for two pieces 2914#. Or get them in my truck and drive very nicely and slow in my truck. I am leaning towards my truck.
    And after that 3 pieces I took to Bollore go to British Air.
    If they will stack the lite one on the heavy one I could do that with my truck as well. I guess I'll find out after I drop the other two. My truck is what it is. I ain't gonna kill it that easily.

    My truck for one I remember. The 4500 for 7 others.
    Some wait time and some tarping to get some more money. They still want crazy prices for 2006 model trucks. That's only 3 years newer than mine.

    All that being true and said something is going to HAVE to be done. My truck won't be safe in winter. The fan for the AC doesn't work either. It was recommended to me to get a 3/4 or 1 ton and not a half ton as I planned.
    But as long as that 4500 is viable I think it won't matter too much.

    the next pickup I buy will be a 3/4 or 1 ton and I don't need one for work, I just like having a truck big enough to pull or haul something if I need
    I had a new 2000 Chevy 3/4 ton extended cab 4x4 and I was really happy with the truck till I made a left turn and got t-boned , after that the recession got me. I plan to have another truck in the next year
