When I drop this in the am I might ask to let me unload it myself LOL! I'm just worried about the 2nd one deep in there, hopefully they got the extendos for the forks. It's only 500lb a piece tho.

Early on, I invested in a couple of 27' straps from Lowe's for exactly that reason. We were pulling a crate containing an airplane wing with no way to grab it. At only 750# it could be "steered" once a strap was slung all the way down and back the length, and hooked to the lift. I ended up using those straps a TON after that. The best use, imo, was to go around heavy molds and out under the rear doors and actually hook them to the rear bumper. No one needs a 2500#+ mold running through them at whatever speed it decided to go. That and e-track in the floor were probably the two most helpful things I did on the road. Mainly because I wasn't smart enough to invest in an Espar on day ONE!!! :0

Our team is in Davenport. Your snow need shoveling? ;)

Send the team 100 miles east to Joliet, if they're still there Monday when we'll get 1-3 inches of snow Sunday. I'll put them up in one of the guest rooms, feed them a home cooked meal, they can watch TV on the big screen!

We can do that this weekend if you're feeling up to it. Also I was in your neighborhood the other day on route 30 and 55

I was going to be up there today, but I've got "drama" at work which needs my attention. You should've gave me a call down here. You were by the mall area!

It's Friday close to the IL/IA line. They should get out today. Thanks though!!!!
Bill & Carolee seem like great peeps! Would probably be good guests!
