So, you've piqued my curiosity...how are we killing ourselves?

YEAH... how????
IF i were half my age, I'd do it again, for sure.

What would we do without these 'food slingers...' become amish?!?!? I like an occasional GOOD restaurant here and there, and I sure do love the shelves stocked when I shop!!!

Periodically, we buy eggs and such from the Amish here in Ohio, and yes, we have a garden. I didn't get ANY deer last season, and I'm not vegan!

Our market places stores have so much inventory and get truck loads in daily sometimes twice a day, I've never seen them out of any shelf stock item. Friday I had 172 cases at one of our stores what's funny is the 50 ft truck will come make a delivery and then the 28' truck will come and also make a delivery to the market place store. Last Friday I had a whole U-Boat load of fries not to mention everything else they get.

i have to say my company issued Harper convertible has rocked day in and day out for 2 years come next week. And it has gone thru HELL. Not all the sidewalks here are smooth and i have not been easy on it. One of the crossmembers has recently cracked and it still works fine.

Really a well made product. Very light too.

i think Magliner is even better and i will probably get one of those when the budget allows.

The only change i made was to switch the wheel to the "ballon" type from the foam type:

The foam type is fine for most applications and i think whoever in our company who made the purchasing decision did the right thing, but our terminal is a little different in that we get much more paper then everyone else and those solid ballon type wheels are much easier to push than the foam type and we frequently carry up to 500lbs of paper. And the thing about pnuematics is that they ALWAYS seem to go flat.

There is a chart that shows how much energy it takes to push each style of wheel, but i can't find it now.

Thanks for the link, it is very very tempting to build my own handcart with a STEEL blade in particular. For about $100 cheaper than my company charged me... I just might do that soon.
