If you ever had a forklift get stuck in your truck you would know why landing gear became popular.

This has been happening since shortly after the pilgrims arrived. Immigrants come to this country to work and make a better life for themselves. They took unskilled, manual labor jobs like agriculture, mining, forestry etc. Today most of those jobs have been replaced by machinery and don't...

I have financed two vans for expediting (Chevy 3500) through two different credit unions. I first open a savings account and make regular deposits for awhile. Then I apply for a loan. I'm sure I was asked how the vans would be used.

If you're thin on credit join a credit union and start a savings account. Make regular deposits and then seek a loan. Another option is financing through an arm of the vehicle manufacturer. At one time even my dog was eligible for new car, manufacturer financing. I don't know if that is...

The truck the OP referenced 2017 Ram Promaster 3500, Wallingford CT - 122053822 - CommercialTruckTrader.com looks fairly close to dock high. My Transit has a floor height of 29" and the pictured Promaster looks to be about 8 to 10 inches higher. This could work with many dock plates using...

The above picture is a cab/chassis with a box. The cab has a back wall and no access to the box from the cab. A cut-away chassis has no back wall on the cab and the front of the box is open allowing access from the cab.

TST cranks out under 26,000 GVWR straight trucks with a sleeper in the box. There's always a bunch parked at their dock in Woodhaven. .

Big League Narcissist©. It's legally yours.

You sound very confident about that and I believe you. Did you copyright that term? I don't know Ventura or Trump at all but I agree with you when it comes to narcissism, THE DONALD probably has THE BRAIN beat. When it comes to paranoia I think Jesse has got that locked. But not by much.

Another similarity he shares with Jesse "Da Brain" Ventura.
