It was a long time ago for me, my late brother and I in our small haulage business moved over to straps and ratchets in the 1970s, the proof of...
I wonder what he expected before straps were invented, double dollied ropes no doubt. :eek: Apologies for this Anglo response, feel free to ask...
How about fitting a blind on the windscreen which goes up and down with the body? :cool: Perhaps with a little 'safety' hole in it just enough to...
It'll be fine, he has a mate who sits in the cabin with his foot on the brake. Think if it was me though I would prefer to be facing the other...

Yes, I agree, if, as others have said, my first ideas wouldn't work. ;-)
So what should he have done, or in other words what would I have done? First stop and take a walk. See how much room there is within a reasonable...
Yes, I used to drive for Buntine Roadways in Katherine, but that was back in the '60s and I don't remember any laws at all in The Territory in...
I can see why you need that enormous spread, with weight like that aboard. ;)
Gave me a shock to see the speed limit sign, then I realised, KMS in Oz? :D
You go into the office to see what's on and the boss hands you your notes and says ‘just an easy little local run for you today, you’ll be home...
