WE NEED MORE!!!! This is so awesome!!! Thank you for keeping us up to date with the project, I can NOT get enough of these videos!
Thanks for watching -- I wish I had more time to keep it moving -- but still working the main job.
I still say turn it into one hell of a cook trailer
We support a lot of events are BBQ competitive events -- there are lot of really nice cook trailers out there -- thanks for watching
I love your videos! Parker Systems is an absolute gold standard example of a great American business. And Mr Parker’s ‘lead from the front’ style is so admirable!!
Thanks for the kind words - I have more help than the videos often represent -- alot of our team is not as excited about the camera as I would like for them to be -- thanks for watching --
Thank you for teaching me what to do with my new refer Grate Dane I bought for $1,600. You're my new hero.
Man that is awesome. I think the Great Danes are the best trailers for this. I hope the build goes great for you. Thanks for commenting. Good luck and keep us posted.
Interesting the boss is doing the work.
It's interesting in the business world the top position of a LLC is referred to as a manger, Like managing a bunch of people I think of myself more as a manager rather than a boss -- also this is little of sideline maybe therapy -- lol. plus I have more help than the videos reflect -- I have some camera shy people -- thanks for watching -- (nothing wrong with the boss working -- probably a little of more of that would help everyone)
@@ParkerSystems hands on therapy can be just as effective as talk therapy.

Just came across your channel. It looks absolutely awesome. I got a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for the content. Subscribed!

Now you gotta make a true food truck, maybe use 2 20’ trailers in a doubles config, one reefer for food and one that’s set up with a few hundred gallons of drinking water and a full commercial kitchen
great idea -- the coming sleeping trailer will have a 21' flex area. -- we have a couple of 53 and 48 reefer trailers as well -- we also have several modular power units and UPS that utlize the 20' containers as well -- thanks for watching
Thanks for making. Thanks for sharing this information.
Thanks for watching. More to come
Would love to know how Mr. Parker got into this. Did he always want to be a logistics provider (if thats what its called) By trade?
Thanks for watching, When I hear Mr. Parker I think of my dad - lol I guess I'm getting old -- I appreciate the Mr. but most people just call me David -- I operate a fiber optic company, we install and build fiber optic networks -- we are CLEC which means we are a telephone company (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) in this world we do contract work for Motorola and and that lead us into the logistic work supporting natural and man made disasters. Thanks for watching.
Just thinking, take a look mat the greyhound style buses, they use a truss assembly below the windows with a top rail above for the main longitude structure and then build the cargo compartments with cross trusses and a formed/corrugated floor panels to complete their torsion box, much like what you are building.
Old school aluminum saw trick, a shot of cooking spray on the blade helps specially if you are cutting thicker material.
Thanks for the comment. -- I will definitely give the blade a little lubrication -- I really saves a drill bit, I should have been smart enough to extrapolate to this cutting device as well - oh well - live and learn. To your point on the bus structures i could not agree more, in the past I did convert a old MCI (Greyhound) bus -- those things are really built well ... thanks for watching
Something about a residential door on a vehicle looks cheap. Have you ever looked into a RV or camper door?
I agree -- however it may not reflect in the video at this time we do not use the brick mold ---- we remove that and use aluminum angle and when we finish the trailer we polish it out, this changes the look to a more modern slick mobile look -- I actually used a mobile home/rv door on the first unit and had to rebuilt it completely in like 3 years -- these exterior doors are far higher quality and seal really well -- we take time to install them with tight tolerances --- to be honest we havent painted any of them ---- we should -- they are all literally the primer that comes on them. -- we will paint them -- thanks for watching.
