Troy,
I'm not married to having a flatbed. But, I'm not opposed either. They are a lot easier to load a lot of the items that I deal in. (woodworking and metalworking machinery). Particularly for dock height loading. Furthermore, they are vastly superior to tie things down to.
On the other hand, you're right. Most of the time, a bed with sides is going to be a lot easier to deal with. There is a lot of security in having things closed in.
The truth is, I want about six trucks. LOML just declared no more trucks for at least two years.

Hello guys!! Pretty quiet in here tonight. I suppose everyone is out having a good time.
I just got back from having a few cocktails at the local watering hole with a couple friends.

Good morning all!
I had a great time camping! Camp dells is a good spot to go back to. Lots of stuff for the kids to do (with my wallet also). Well I just gotta say I need to get there before dark. I had to back in a corner spot with trees and pitch dark. Not fun! I am back at work today, YUCK! Hope everyone has a cool saturday. Later
