    You got a knife too?!?! If they wouldn’t have bought all those knives and paid to ship them out….. they would have enough funds to forego these “fees”.

    Be glad you missed that one......that weed was most likely full of creosote and paraquat, and maybe even Agent Orange.

    Ah, you are being critical of small things.
    Now consider those mirrors. Old times.. Round, then rectangular, Shook and quivered. Had to reach out and steady to get an accurate look at the man behind you. Progress, Western Auto offered a brace kit. Couple of overlapping tubes with set screws to lock, 6 self tapping sheet metal screws to anchor ends to door.
    From mirror arm back to door ledge (against the 42 MPH slip stream) and from mirror arm down say 18 inches to keep from sagging. Drove a GMC with mirrors like in the pic for 2 years. Graduated high school and steady driving job.. Had "Ted Prutsman Defrosto west coast mirrors, ah heaven..
    Could see the color of the mans eyes now as he clocked you...

    The creosote would have been a factor. Laid on liberally, ties lasted. Not like the lame "Yella Wood" treatment now.

    An excellent and helpful response. I kind of like to use the complimentary close of
    "With warmest personal regards,
    (My name)

    That Is the problem with the flatbed loads. Is they want to load you to 48k and my empty weight is 40k. Plus it seems like most flat bed brokers don't actually know what they are trying to move. Because I ask for dimensions on stuff and they don't even know . Other than you need 48ft of deck space and need to load 46 -48k... so it's just become a waste of time calling on flatbed loads to see if it will fit on my trailer...m as for the JD stuff.. I been trying to get an inhere locally in AZ... but it seems the dealerships are working thru someone higher up in corporate that handles the movement of all their loads.. at least that's I've been told talking to some of the salesmen with the JD dealerships.. Sure would be nice to find something...Just gotta keep at it

    Our "furry grandson" is visiting, and looking at the inside door to the garage like there's a bug flying around but I don't see it.......
