    Took my son back to his truck after a 32hr cool down ( Pharr TX ) On the way told him about ur pic ? Yep keeps the load from coming forward Dad ! ..... Good to know ! I guess one should try to learn something new everyday ? And you two have done that for me, just remember its been 22 yrs since I drove flats ! My 1st truck was a mack were u took out the passenger seat built a box that covered the whole area and left u just enough room to move the stick ! u put a cover/rug/ etc over it and that was your bed........Maps,phone card,CB was all you had..Take care/Be safe/and Careful . .......................................................................................................................................

    One other thought we had back in the day !---- The half link problem ----- When you were done tightening down your chains, you would -- SMACK --- the chain with your cheater pipe, just in case a link was caught, cross haired ? and then re tighten

    Must certainly do when I wrap it around the spools. Not really an issue Ive found so far when using the jhooks.

    We used to get a Friday/Saturday load for early morning drop off , of one 50,000 lb coil of scrap out of Ashland KY ( Armco Steal )( Home town ) Now the steal mill had a set of scales enter/exit , and if you were over 80Th they wouldn't let you leave ! So the mom +pop dispatcher ( Trip lease ) had a SMALL!!!!!!!! gasoline truck that we would take , to be able to get back across the river ( Ironton OH ) and back to our OTR truck. The bridge had a hill in the middle with a cure ! and if you didn't crawl in bull dog gear it would kill the engine. Had to pull it one time were a guy try-ed 2nd. It had to be tarp-ed with all kind of cutting edge's. Then they would give us a 6pack and a map to get around the scales
