Trailers in the Fleet have 2 kinds of Logistic Track? These Straps Work in Both E & F Tracks

Posted by Ken Webb on

A very good customer phoned last week, frustrated their E Track straps weren't fitting all of the sudden.

Curtain Side Box Trucks are Prevalent in Europe - This is the Inside!

Posted by Ken Webb on

Curtain side box trucks are prevalent in Europe and are close cousins to small flatbed delivery trucks commonly seen in most US cities.
