    Your rear axle sets forward & you have a longer rear overhang. Maybe because of the lift gate?🤔 But those roll down landing gear that a lotta expediting trucks have are good to have!👍🏾 Don't know if you can add something like that without being too pricey or adding too much weight on your rear drive axle yanno🤔 I just ran across your video & got'chu locked in. Stay safe ✌🏿

    I'm a huge fun of your channel here in Wichita ks...also from 254. Trying to get in the box truck business.

    If you can pallet jack the load to the lip of the truck then thats always better. Sometimes weight doesn't allow this and you just have to let the forklift on. Get the airbag looked at/changed out.

    How do you keep your devices connected with wifi? Do you use a portable hotspot device or run off your phone hotspot?

      @@Milesinabox Ahh okay and you are able to run all your devices off of the iPad? I got the Garmin OTR 500 but was wondering how to run everything without draining my phone.
      Bought a hotspot but wasn’t sure if the data would be enough thank you for the help I can return the hotspot and go the iPad route.

    I’ve heard it’s best to not let the forklifts go deep into the box but i assume it’s driver preference

      Definitely. I didn’t like it at all but you got to make money somehow.

    Hi!
    I developed software to help owner-operators and carriers manage their expenses and keep track of fleet finances effortlessly. I think it’s something you might find helpful! Would love to discuss how we could work together.
