and some sort >of 16 inch or higher aluminum or steel panel along the side >(I forget what it is called). Greg: It is called a scuff wall or scuff liner. I would stay away from steel in a reefer because of humidity and corrosion. Aluminum, heavy fiberglas or ballistic plastic scuff walls...

Or Moore/Gore.

Broom: For a cover buy another gladhand and put a cap or plug on the air fitting to keep dirt out. Use a small chain as a keeper to attach to the dummy gladhand so you don't lose it when your air hose is connected.

Wonderful news! He looks ready to hit the road with his multi-modal travelin' blanket.

Ryan: Nice numbers for a B unit. My calculator makes that out to be $2.01 per mile. Does that include f.s.c. Don't tell anyone who you are leased to. People will flock to that carrier and you will be running for .80/mile if you run at all. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I purchased a ScanGauge last summer for $122.00. I see the model I have has been replaced by the ScanGauge II. This new model is more compact and sleeker than the old version. It also sells for $169.99. I believe this device has paid for itself already. I have pulled fault codes and reset...

Great picture Turtle. From RLENT's picture I couldn't tell if it was possible to mount the E-Track on the main horiztonal and still be able to bolt to the verticles. Your pictures shows it can be done. I think this is the best way to mount one row of E-Track on each wall. Looks very secure...

That is a prime example of why I don't own any guns!

RLENT: I question your use of pan D-rings on the floor. I assume that the lip of the pan will be set below the top of the plywood so pallets don't snag it when loading and unloading. But another problem with those is when loading tanks, wire baskets and tubs with legs. The legs will get...

RE: Slingbox update If you have broadband with internet service at home can you also get the internet service in your truck?

Mike I'm curious about access to your bikes and grill. Do you have a curbside door? If you sit over a weekend with a sealed load do you just forget about the bikes and grill. Would it be practical with a non-reefer unit to install a wall inside the the box with a curbside door and use this...

Okay, I bit!

Rex: I sure if you e-mail or p.m. Ateam you will get a reply. Also try searching camera or camera systems in past posts. I believe in Phil's post on his camera system he provided links to the manufacturer and installer.

I carry 2 straps with ratches and 4 straps with friction cam lock things. All straps have E-Track ends. I also have a 24' tow strap with hooks, a 12' chain with hooks and pallet tongs. I rarely use the tow strap but occasionally I have to loop it around a pallet or crate to get it to the rear.

>you can also buy new rubbers for your gladhand at almost any >truck stop when needed.;) It is cheaper to buy in bulk from a drug store than to pay .50 apiece from a truckstop vending machine.

TeamCaffee: What type of connection do you have, gladhand or a regular air fitting? Did you plumb it yourselves or was it a factory spec?

I live 45.138N latitude and 93.255W longitude. That puts me just northwest of Minneapolis, MN. Saturday morning it was -6 degrees. We had one other below zero morning this winter. Whenever we had snow it melted within a few days. Currently there is maybe 2 inches of snow cover. Another...

How many straight truck owners have their trucks equipped with either a glad hand outlet or a conventional compressed air fitting for connecting an air hose? This would be used for inflating tires, running pneumatic tools etc.

On my Chevy the center of the E-Track on the walls is at about 28" above the floor. I have modified 2 telescoping load bars, the light duty kind made for pick up trucks. These drop into E-Track sockets. I use this set up for securing drums. I run straps from the floor over the load bars...

I don't think this is meant as a good ol' boys club. Have you ever looked back in your mirrors and had someone hit you with the bright white light? My personal opinion is if you can't turn your headlights off and then quickly on then do nothing. Or use the CB. If you want to make the good...
