    I'm with Rogers. It's $5 a day for US talk/text/data etc. Then I just have one phone.

    I do have a US SIM card at the house. Maybe that's an option too?

    Electric motor. 10' 8" wide. 28" off the right.

    8 chains and a 30x30 tarp.

    Had to tarp it at the pickup because of freezing rain this morning.

    Why is the pallet so oversized on the right?

    There's an electrical connection box that is spaced about 18" off that side of the motor. As a result the crate it originally shipped in had to be built larger to fit. They just reuse the skid from the bottom of the crate instead of having a new one made. It means that every time we haul one of these they are always wide to the right. The main body of the motor is loaded center on the deck to keep it balanced.

    Even if I cut the skid off the box would still hang over. I don't mind the extra width. Means more money for me and the piece is better protected from stupid people. I'd much rather they destroy a skid instead of the motor.

    The other day we were talking about hauling containers, I hauled one today and snapped a picture of my securement.

    You use those for jobsite tool/equipment storage, correct? Are they full of tools when you move them? And, if so, does everything stay in place pretty good when you move them?

    Yeah pretty good, we have shelves and stuff to put stuff on. Little stuff will fall over but you'd be surprised how things ride.
