    I use the microwave to store cereal and bread in this truck. In the last truck I stored our paper plates and silverware in the microwave. I set a tray in the microwave and would lift the tray out with all of my papergoods on it and I was then ready to use the microwave. Another storage...

    Skirts

    GandJ I heard mixed reviews on this configuration and like the article I am skeptical of the reviews at this point. They solve the problem in California but I have not talked to a driver with real world experience. On the panels that curve out to the tool boxes interest me as from what I...

    Skirts

    We have had a couple docks that we could not back into or docks that scraped the bottom of our generator. The lift gate has also scraped a couple of times as it is low. The Enemy the under carriage thing will not work in this situation due to the lift gate. Henry has removed the rear air...

    Skirts

    If we can save 3% a year on a fuel bill of $56,000 that would be a savings of $1680 dollars I can see that being worth the time to investigate the savings. The O/O that I know who own their own their trailer with skirts take very good care of them and they look as good as new. That is a...

    Skirts

    Kicking around the idea of adding skirts to our truck from the steps to the back and would like some input. One way is to use the same sheeting and cover the belly boxes and lift panels to get into the belly boxes.... This brings up a problem of how to hold down the skirts tight so they do not...

    FEDEX CC folks

    Any Disney Lubbers?

    Great point! I think you have hit on why I enjoy Disneyland so much! When I walk through those gates and under the railroad I am off into another world and I forget all about trucking which is not something I can easily do.
