    That was one of the best write-ups I've read on here. It literally explains the entire transportation system and should definitely a be "sticky". Thanks for writing all of this up. I am guessing it took many hours.

    NO. A girlfriend would only cause the ruination of a good driver, of which we have precious few as it is.:eek:

    speaking of delivery we also use these units:
    image.jpg image.jpg
    The first unit in picture 1 is a knock down. It's used for hauling massive quantities of goods far distances from the truck to the delivery point there pretty strong and can carry 700-1000lbs.

    The other unit is a regular stand up wheeler I was using the knock down like a pallet almost and working off of it so I didn't have to lug my regular wheeler up the steps.

    Knock downs have pros and cons there are some areas they work good in and others they do not.

    Usually they are best for far walks and deliveries that are way far inside but with the right tools and some creativity you can use them to your advantage in unconventional ways.

    It would be funny to see somebody strutting while they push a loaded cart down a ramp.

    I'll try to ad more as I go. Kind of been getting crushed at work this week, I got nothing done on my house this week I wanted to get my new blower and weed wacker squared away and haven't been able to get barely anything accomplished.
