    OSHA QUAD COPS, at the US Steel Guard shack had me take a test on the screen before they would let me enter the plant. Like can you cross chains on a eye to the side coil, No. Minimum amount of chains for a 45000 pound coil,5

    I can't say enough good things about the company I work for. My trailer only had one side box, but I was getting along ok with it. I never complained. We don't even flatbed all the time. Mostly pneumatic work. Well they ordered me a new one for the other side, and pulled it in the shop to install it. Boss was looking in my current box and saw it kinda messy (and he knows I'm not a messy guy), so he just slapped these things together in a few minutes, then came and got me (I was washing my truck in the wash bay) and asked me what I thought about them.

    Can't find better folks to work for.

    I might have to make me a couple of those, every time I open my box there's always one or two of them that try to escape.

    I almost could not get the side box open today because the last jack wad that used the trailer forced the door closed by squeezing the straps that were in the box instead of straightening the box out. I thought it was just the box being stubborn until I got the door open and saw the straps wedged against it. Some people's children, they should make abortion retroactive in some instances.

    I have three boxes on the trailer, almost everything is stored in them. for straps and portables I really like milk style crates. keeps everything in order and neat.

    Here is something that we did to the boxes on our trucks. Added a drip edge to the top of the box.
