    Stepps moves alot of stuff here in Florida. They have put some miles on them. Good classics to refurb. Id rather refurb than run the junks today that are new

    Can you feel the floor vibrate when you move the overhead Crain? I used to haul coils and you would feel the floor, but the Crain was bigger because the coils would weigh 15,000-30,000. The other building had coils weighing as much as 50,000

      As long as you don’t rev it up too high immediately after start up , but it’s actually better for the engine because it gets the oil pressure up and delivers it to all the vital parts , that’s why the engine manufactures recommend as little idle time as possible , when idling at 800 plus rpm’s it supplies the engine with good oil pressure

I get that walk through my eyes sometimes. Twoo and best thing to do is just keep one truck. It wouldn't attract park the road part. The other truck can keep one cause. I know you said in the past.
