    Pulling my client list now and will work on an email to blast to them. I also post ads to gain more clients at truck stops, maybe a will do a flyer relating to this also.
    Veering off topic a bit, but maybe you can coordinate LTL shipments for some of the forum members that are sending out pallets of E-scrap.

    Another great idea! I didn't think of that either. I am learning so much here. I am very familiar with the trucking boards, free and paid. I have a list of them if anyone needs links for this kind of thing. Would like to share what I know, showing thanks for all I have learned here.

    With spring brake chambers is there a safe way to cut them off of the truck while leaving them intact? As long as you do not try to open them, but cut them off of the truck would you be safe? Next time one of our trucks brakes down I will be sure to ask our mechanic to make sure and for him to show me everything, so I do not do something that could be dangerous. I just wondering for those who cut up large trucks what they do when they come to the brake chamber? Thanks.
