An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

The old guy that checked you in at Ports America at Dundalk was a piece of work. 30 or 40 guys in line and he would only check in 3 trucks per hour.

 

Or you pull the front wheels up onto the top deck by climbing the riser…at least that’s what I do with JD pickups…just pull up to the riser and with awd you should have no issues

 

Yep, 4wd and climb onto the front deck.

 

@supersnackbar this isn’t looking good for your state



From a tropical depression to a cat five in less than 48 hours.

 

Looking at that 1st picture I am reminded of a question I posed on here a while back regarding the lack of headboards on US trailers. Is what I see there in front of that tractor a movable version of such a thing?

Or is it something quite different that I have mistaken for one?

I haven't always had a headboard though, way back in the '70s a firm I worked for had several Pitt trailers which were flat deck straight through, but they also had twistlocks for 20s, 30s and 40 foot containers so were usually used on that work. But not always, and I remember being a bit nervous and extra careful with some loads.

 

I hope that you do OK with this storm. My brother in law lives in Kissimmee and I think that he is going to get hammered. Glad I do not live in Winter Haven anymore either. The wife an I are up here in Savannah Tn until November 1then we go to Pensacola for the winter. Hope all the storms are done by then.
