Straps work well on a load like this though.

All the "real" steel haulers use ratchet binders. They can chain down a load of coils in a side kit trailer and have it covered before I get started good. Hand tightened is all you need, and there's no slack. We have the lever binders, or "snap" binders as we call them. You always seem to run into a chain being too loose, but too tight to get another link on the chain, so you get another binder out and double bind it on the other side.

I like that dump truck!

I saw this picture on the interwebs a year or two ago and e mailed it to our dispatcher. We were hauling a lot of mats like this at the time, mostly to West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I always put chains on mine, but a lot of guys would just use straps. You can't hurt them, they usually unloaded them with a track hoe, then they lay them on the ground and drive equipment over them.

I saw this one yesterday and grabbed a quick drive-by picture. I haven't seen many Ford combines.

Both, I usually start with charcoal, then add wood to it for smoking. If i'm just grilling in the main part and not using the smoker I just use charcoal.

#**k you- just have your people call my people...

Time to move this equipment out of the driveway and into the back yard. Maybe if I took the wheels off the two old tillers in the junk pile and clamped them to the legs on the grill with vise grips, I could just roll it like a wheelbarrow... Good in theory, but as I was afraid, the vise grips wouldn't clamp tight enough. On to plan B- this oughta work, i'll just get a helper to steady it while I pull. That'll work! Think i'll leave it right there.

You need to go sit in a truckstop parking lot to see all that.

I thought about getting one of those little cheap trailers from Tractor Supply and mounting the grill on it, then I could tow it all over the place and grill. I still have the big Char-Grill smoker in the back yard too.

I heard some years ago that 2 guys crossing the tracks to go fishing in the James river in Amherst set their aluminum boat down on the tracks while they took a break and it caused all sorts of confusion.

It should, I didn't know the bottom part was stainless steel. The guy at the machine shop told me he found out when he went to cut the hole in it. Now I need to get it moved around to the back yard.

Joseph Petree is a truck driver for La-Z-Boy. He's usually hauling truck-loads of furniture. And now he's helping people on the other side of the world. Dr. Greene connected with La-Z-Boy and they are taking the supplies to their next destination for free. Petree says, "It kind of feels like you're doing something right because there's really not much you can do you would think from sitting behind the wheel of the truck but now actually you're helping people." http://www.13abc.com/story/26816259/local-volunteers-send-supplies-to-w-africa He's known as Nocluejoe66 here.

Wonder what ever happened to this one? I've been to Rutrough Mack in Roanoke many times. It's Virginia Truck Center now, still right across rt. 11 from the scales.
