    Got back pain?

    :) Wow, that's cool. I'm still it doing daily. I remembered, at the end of a long day moving those heavy loads, the back would get so stiff. Bending trying to pick up something would get so bad (ya, I blamed it on being older too, Lol....). It was a struggle to bring the upper body back to...

    Cargo Van What pallet loading system do you use/recommend?

    Type loads that I have carried, few are on the pallets. On a few occasions, I do get the pallets and the strap does come in handy. Once in awhile, I also get a load on the pallet that is so heavy and using the strap will only rip the pallet apart. This is where the long tongue forklift comes...

    Cargo Van Controversial idea?

    IMO, in a larger picture and one of the major factors, the cargo van market has entered the state of disequilibrium. It started about 3 years ago. Largely due to the supplies exceeded the demands. Accepting of the lowered rates are the van market reactions to the disequilibrium. Currently...

    Let's try this!

    If you and your wife are up to it, give it a shot. But.....must(yep mandatory) have savings to cover atleast 6 months of bills and personal expenses. You can reevaluate after 3-4 months to see if this fit both of you. If not, on the 4-5th month start working your way back to TT. Good luck...
