    I take mine home with me every night I put it in the back of my truck. I have 2 one is a Magliner Fold Down which is mine and I own personally. The other is a GFS dolly that I use mostly everyday I think the company bought it sometime around 1992 (yeah it's that old) It's got to have 100,000 miles on it and I'm probably the 90th person to have it. I am amazed it still is working.

    Anyhow were short at our yard same as how Cowboy is short at his us express drivers like my self have been getting creamed. This week it's been nothing, but ad on's and temp routes. I'm beat. Monday was heavy for me on a Monday ha-ha! Tuesday was good too and today I was 18,000 lbs the $$$ though is adding up should have a real good pay check which is why I do this after all ha-ha.

    However this week the stupid returns argg!! Monday my 3rd stop had 248 cases $9,000+ dollar they ended up sending back 40 cases knocked the invoice down to $7,000.

    I had to work around that stuff all day it was awful fa-waffle. Then yesterday I had China-Town a little bit and a Chineese Food Whole Sale Trading Company rejected 10 cases of Fryer Oil! Today though thank goodness the returns were only 2 cases. 745 cases today 18,000lbs+.

    Tomorrow I don't know what the case count is I think it's in the 700s, but only 14,000lbs load. Schools are starting to order again Schools get a lot of chips and stuff like that.

    See my truck has a locking tonaue cover and it keeps my wheelers safe and sound the tail gate also locks used to be in the alcohol business and had to keep the juvinile delinquents out of the back of my truck :))

    They all break because they are (not) maintained by Ryder and they have a zillion hours on them. The one I have today (still broken Btw. Only freeze works) has 36,000 hours just on the engine. Of course it's going to break. I bet this trailer is 10 years old. I've had older. Ridiculous.
