    Is there such thing as a brake heater?

    Can you use a hair dryer to thaw frozen brakes?

    (I promise I am not making these up.)

    Why do you 'bounce'? Is there something wrong with the truck?

    Unfortunately, for one potential driver who started the week with us, longer than he thought! See ya! And no one was surprised after observing behavior for a few days.

    They should teach pallet jack operation in school. I have seen some guys really struggle.
