Here in Elkhart, Ind, waiting to get the rooftop a/c unit installed, the earliest the guy can install it is Friday morning...This is killing me to be out of service like this, but I also know if I don't get it done now, it may be awhile before it gets done, and I'd probably end up down south in the heat without a/c unless I idle the van, which costs me $75.00 a day to do with the a/c on.

Chef, I got a hold of the body mfr this morning, and, surprisingly enough, those lights are $36.00 each, really cheap for LED lights of that size.

It has been a productive day.

Is there a place close to the yard to buy cargo securement etc? Seems like there has been a place mentioned but I dont remember where.

I want to get a pallet puller. Ive been using a tow strap but most of the time a pallet puller would be a lot better.

Check with Vince our fleet manager. I think he has Lakeshore and another source for that stuff.
