All I can add to the above: An LED headlamp (one of the "fits over your head" strap type). Folds into nothing, and a massive frustration saver...
Repo and abandoned recovery are completely different animals. Repo is highly specialized, sometimes dangerous, and requires a lot of...
I was flatbed OTR and once did nine drops in a single business day, all in the metro Los Angeles area. Everything went EXACTLY right, and it was...

Just relating an experience, hand. Part of what forums are for. As for "doing something special" you are still missing the point. I claim...
You mean Holbrook, I assume.
I don't know the particulars of carrying in the US, but Canada is an absolute no without exceptions. It's a felony to try, too. (or whatever they...
No hesitation, no GOAL... and a (what looks like) a sheer cliff drop off. Probably in South or Central America (just guessing):...
No. Hollywood and the high profile nature of shootouts & etc. makes people think police work is far more dangerous than it actually is. It...
Microwave ovens are definitely voltage sensitive. Inverter ratings are often distorted, too, especially the cheaper ones. Tripp-Lite is a...
Stop putting words in my mouth. I said, "I'd love to see them do it," not that no one else in trucking could. Hardly. The point being that...

The blue collar world is different than the office-worker one. I'd say split the difference. Courtesy is always in order, but a page condensing...
That's some USDA Prime quality trash talk, there. :biggrin_2559:
I got so tired of the "can't back" jokes at the truckstops. I'd LOVE to see a dock-bumper jack 90 degrees between the same two trees off a single...
Sounds harsh, but I think that if your hubby has what it takes to hang with entry-level trucking itself---meaning the hours, hassles, waiting,...
Point taken, but I've always figured a screwed up truck was preferable to being dead. If someone ever came through the window that's what I'd...
Really? That's new to me. Thanks for the info. I can see Tach smiling from here. :biggrin_25525:
No worries. Class 8 truck transmissions are all alike. Their only differences are the driver interface---the gear positions (the "pattern"), and...
Pulling them isn't any different, though backing them can be. (Most flats have spread axles, and most vans have sliders.) But that level of...
