    Cleaned out the truck today. Good lord the amount of useless stuff Ive accumulated in the last four and a half years. Heading for a food service company. flat bedding got to easy so I decided it would be better to unload a trailer with a two wheeled hand cart four days a week. Not going to get rid of my favorite bar just yet though. May have to come back to the dirty side of things if I don't like it.

    Be cautious of the slicked/icy ramps! You’ll be on your arse and wondering wtf just happened! Good Luck and enjoy the workout.

    Thanks. Is it worse than falling of a load of hay?

    Couldn’t answer that! But when your hand truck is loaded and pulling you down that ramp you gotta decide is it me or the product I save? I had a trainer that was literally walking down the ramp and telling me to be careful and down he went. He limped the rest of the day! Just be overly cautious is all.
