    Yes. Used to haul a lot of totes out of north Bergen to Rochester. They checked your credentials at this place anyways

    If you carry 90% methyl hydrate you can pour some into the inside dish
    of each frozen wheel and light them. The alcohol burns at a lower heat and you have a lot less chance of a tire or hose fire.
    If you can find one of the old metal tobacco tins with a trimmed roll of T.P. in it can be soaked with methyl hydrate and set on fire as an emergency heater. This puts out more heat than the candles that the public recommends for your winter emergency kit and can be snuffed with the can lid and then refilled.
    This comes from someone who hauled to northern Saskatchewan mines and communities over 5 winters in the 80's and 90's.
    As far as your belt troubles congrats on your ingenuity in staying warm and getting your truck back on the road. Another hint is to keep a small notebook with serial numbers and part numbers that you can slip into a pocket when going for parts.
