    Our's are not bad I don't think. Our shop has the dollies on a maintenance program like any other piece of equipment they bring them into the shop every couple of months and perform PMs on them same as they do the tractors. I've not know of to many problems with our converter gear, they seem to be pretty dependable.

    I think there was at one time someone at the shop who's job it was to just work on converter gear.

    I work for a super regional food service distributor that's big around the great lakes area. All that dirt you see on our trailers is called road salt, it'll destroy all the roads and rust your car while your car is being destroyed by the bad roads. And everything is rusting in front of your face.

    Did you guys know there’s a Sysco truck that makes a cameo appearance in the 1991 film backdraft?

    Well it wasn't totally random ha-ha, I had thought that it would be fun to watch films that had Bridget Fonda in them such as 1991s Single White Female and 1994's City Hall, and I thought she was also in 1991s Backdraft, but I made a mistake and it turns out I confused Bridget Fonda with Jennifer Jason Leigh which is an easy mistake to make anyone could do it.

    The other reason for it was Bruce Hornsby and The Range they had (2) songs on the soundtrack and I wanted to see where those songs were placed in the movie. It just so happened in the scene where Robert DeNerio is talking to the corrupt Chicago Alterman I saw the Sysco truck and thought I should alert everyone.

    I saw “silver eagle” and thought of something a little different. I like these kind better.

    I can see why you might find it difficult to tell them apart.
