Thats mine ... Lift had to be within 2" of my tail lights ... 1 " from wiring harness for Lip to reach floor ... all hands and eyes on watch ups and downs ... any type of hitch receiver would have to be flush with bumper or dock plate wouldn't reach into van .. resulting in no-load ...

I was getting unloaded today in Milwaukee and they only have 1 high dock.
2 long boxes at 500# each.
Old timer says no problem...
Brings forklift forward, lays one of the forks on the box, wraps chain over the box and fork and takes out a box (500#!!!)
He says, we do it every day
If I did this in the places I worked before, I would get fired, revived and fired upon again.
I wish I took pictures, it was cool.

So....this is why agricultural loads suck. 4th hour waiting on customs
(Thank you Livingston for the usual non-updates)

That's why I don't like to cross.
One time I was bringing some drugs to Canada that was flown from Europe (don't ask why they didn't fly it there directly)
BTW, drugs were from Russia.
Was at customs for 8 hours untill cleared.
