Nice, Still a bit money in this particular industry of haulage then?

Not at all really. Man father likes new toys though...

You remapped a truck?

Fair play! lol

Hell yeah. Only problem is that it pops the hoses off the intercooler now.

How do you get the pigs/sheep/cattle on the top level?

Always wondered...

The whole deck moves..

No. The government is killing haulage off. The only way to make big profits now is to run outside the law really. The biggest livestock haulier in the UK was shutdown for doing so. 3 months later the ban was lifted as it had crippled the industry.

I could go on a proper rant about this.

Sheeting & roping sucks balls.

Never done sheeting and roping yet, helped a mate fold up the sheets after taking them off and thats about it. straps/chains are piss easy though.
