    I saw a bed bugger with one of them>he was trying to jam a king size box spring down the man hole/hatch. It wasn't going so well for him.

    just remember to put in the load locks in the tanker so the high dollar, well paying cargo stays in place...

    I've never seen a Peterliner, but I do remember a Peternational, (or was it an Interbilt?) running around the Northwest. He parked across from Jubitz.

    Everybody knows the big money is in shipping. Shipping wars would not be on tv if it was not true.

    I find that a bucket of flight line and a few hand fulls of liquid nail you can tie it under the frame just like a driver should.

    I would also cut the box springs in half and hinged it.

    Peterliners are a glider kit, Pittsburgh power only builds them.
