    I agree JDP. I haul a lot of catalyst from time to time (the canisters in the pics) and ALWAYS use a chain and binder in back and front with two straps over the top. Some consider it overkill but those flowbins walk like crazy if ya dont have it done that way and they are top heavy.

    The in-floor is very nice. Will come in handy hauling coils for sure. I also calle up the Fontaine dealer and ordered a couple of the tire chalks for wheeled machines too.

    As for the header chains, I have one in front and one in back. It is actually part of the regulations for a hazmat load. But I would have put them on anyways.

    And yes, they are top heavy, I've been taking turns very easily lol !!!

    Yeah you want to with those. Theres another one of those warehouses in Houston also, I have seen LS guys pick up when I do. I also pick up the used catalyst at refineries out west, fun stuff. When I got stuck in Cali a couple of weeks ago, I was supposed to be getting used catalyst but they put it off for a week and I got hosed. I am making back up for it right now though and then some. I will post some pics tomorrow if I can get the wife to take them with her smart phone.

    Your agent called, and he wants it trans loaded on a flatbed sitting in my backyard.

    That's a Dodge Power Wagon from early '40s, if I'm not mistaken (or is it M37 from '50s?). I want one from the late '40s, similar to the ones displayed at Iowa 80 and Kenly 95.
