Re: Ladder Racks
the ladders on top of the van is almost as high as the van. Not only that, it dosn't look safe or good to new clients.
I would also like to know how the back doors open with the pump jacks hanging down.

Re: Ladder Racks
If anything bad happens, the stuff on top is likely to suffer the most damage. I find it ironic that the most expensive thing, the brake, is on top.

Re: Ladder Racks
I guarantee that van would get a ticket for an 'unsafe load' if he even tried to drive through my town, - - probably get impounded, too.

Re: Ladder Racks
Interesting, some fellas can't do the math, why on earth would you have more equipment on top than the maggots riding in the truck can use?

Re: Ladder RacksQuote:
Yeah, one of the first things that popped in my head was, "I wonder if this guy will forget about the stuff on top, and go through the McDonald's drive through". I have pretty tall trucks, and none of them fit through the drive through's at the fast food joints or the banks. That's one of the main drawbacks. |

Re: Ladder Racks
I did that once when I first got the truck I have now. It came with ladder racks on it and I went to pull in the mall parking lot and boom, hit the caution bars that were hangin there. Backed up traffic a bit but nothing major.
