It rides around in the toolbox on my tractor headboard. When I put some straps in, it comes out and on. I don't always though. Depends on if I am in a mirthful mood. Mine is actually just a little plastic truck my kids outgrew- but they like seeing pictures of it in random photo ops.

Local recycler used to transport the metal still molten, instead of the big billets, saving the huge amount of time and money required to reheat it. Carried to the end user in huge pots on lowboy trailers! TONS of HOT molten metal sitting in a huge pot just chained down on a truck bed!The pots were as wide as the trailer and at least as tall. What could possibly go wrong? I think TDOT stopped them, at least it isn't done anymore here.

I've seen those coming from the nearby Alcoa plant. Been a while though.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Floyd D. BarberGoing past the weigh station, just past where trucks re-enter the interstate, state patrol had a Hertz rental pulled over. Several cars, a dog who appeared to be excited, and officers holding bundles of what I assumed to be contraband.
Cool for me, for the truck driver, probably not so much.
