    We should all be nice. Pitch in and buy Otter one of those.
    Besides.... flat beds do look like surf boards with wheels.

    And if closing doors is so easy, why can't the flatbedders do it?

    Well, with barn doors you can close them on the ground.

    A roll-up door on the other hand requires climbing up to reach the grab strap. ;)

    Boy am I stupid! I thought they created these with a secondary use?

    All that climbing I missed out on. Now I get to do it to clean out the trailer.

    That only works on a grab strap that's looped. Mine isn't. ;)

    My goodness, I thought we were on the same page.
    Apparently not.
    What is Spanish for "bro, just bring me a taco."?
