    that will eventually change. When they start losing ladders from drivers selling their equipment, your company will quit supplying them. Btw, the little fold up ladders that you see so many carry, I bought mine a few years back on sale for $59.

    20 more years and you won't be riding forklifts and playing monkey-boy!! And sometimes ya need to fix something beside the road or where there is no equipment around; and you need to be self-sufficient. Just go buy yourself a ladder.........real nice folding/telescopic ones available now.

    Ladders are inconvenient and helicopters kick up too much wind.

    Twenty more years and there will be a magic plastic that you just flip a switch and it vacuum seals to the load automatically.
