    Ya know this thread is full of alot of exaggeration and flat out nonsense. I mean its not like flatbedders are some kinda model of fitness. I've done alot of flatbeddin and I've been to some shippers & recievers that looked more like a plumbers convention.......if ya smell what the rock is cookin!!!!!!!!!!

    I've got a 3 door drom/rack going on one of these weekends when we get a chance. I'm not sure which is worse, chasing bad grounds on my reefer with 60 LEDs or outfitting myself with this step. It never ends..

    I got a spreader coming off in the am at an implement dealer. What time you ask? Whenever the hell I get up tomorrow!!!...(grin) Ain't missing the 3 am grocery warehouses peckerheads who don't even want their goods....('Nuther big grin!!)

    If any of yall will be at Burris foods in Atlanta or Orlando, be sure to tell them FYVM....(trifecta grin!!)

    Ah yes, the phrase a door slammer will probably never hear. "our receiving is first come first serve!":biggrin_2559:

    Let us know how much the implement dealer charges you to unload that spreader!:biggrin_25525:

    Oh I don't think flatbedders are being portrayed as fitness models. However when I see a guy that just chained down a bulldozer, or hand tarped a load of lumber and his clothes are dirty and he's sweating I understand. But when your hardest job was putting in a load lock or latching a door and you smell like a foot.............:biggrin_25525:

    The charge for me to unload at the implement dealer will be a cup of coffee, and they buy it. Bonus, I'll be the only truck there.
