Default for CFR plate number watchers ...

On Startop Road near Cyrville Road in Ottawa there is a truck company yard with at least 3 dozen of the new 2 1/2 tons. I have seen these vehicles on the roads, and never knew where they were over nighting until yesterday.

This time last year I was asked if my unit still wanted some to replace our decrepit MLVWs, of course I said yes. The Sergeant Major and Acting OC agreed. We had a lot of input into the drawings for the extendible side office boxes on the back end. Imagine a drop pallet box with its own little on board gennie, AC and dehumidifier. The problem we ran into was how to store dense, heavy paper maps in steel cabinets without putting the CG too high. We wanted the drop side version the tire shop used, but we were too late to get the project realigned. Never quite figured that one out.
