    Careful you don't make them too small or the forklift driver will have to get real close to read them....

    Hey there Luwi67,
    How did you like pulling that crash fire truck ? I did one over here in Iraq from up near Mosul down to Bahdad. That was my dream load i wanted to pull ever since i saw it up at this one camp. Here is what the one looked like i did. Thanks for the post...

    this has almost always sparked a conversation with my trailer. 25 dollars a foot , how many feet would you like to purchase?

    I prefer what I seen on a fontaine in Garden City. Big red letters on the main beams. "DON'T BUMP MY F*****G TRAILER!" (no mods I wasn't trying to skirt the filter that's what the trailer read) I just laughed. Ever since I quit going to Menards I havn't had a problem with my trailer getting hit.

    Don't have to worry about that unless your dog rides with you.

    I can think of much worse. 100 sheep in a bull rack operated by a guy from Wyoming. Aw Wyoming where the men are men, the sheep are nervous, and the kids say daaaaaaaahhhddy. Think about that and then say ewww.

    I think they should read "DO NOT SMASH" since bumping a rubrail is #### near impossiable. It's just part of the job/territory. If they bump it, noting is going to happen, not if they smash into it, you will have issues. Luckily I have an extrude honed rail and not even a fork truck can damage it
