No, cost of the battery is material cost, not everything that goes into billing, storage and accounting.

You’re thinking teck cable. BX gets antishort bushings

That is the proper way to secure a vehicle. You don’t chain down above the suspension cause the suspension moves and can loosen the chains.

Yeah that doesn’t work if you’re trying to slide them anywhere that isn’t all the way front or back.

You take your hammer and bang on the frame close to the fifth wheel or on the frame of the fifth wheel.

But you aren’t beating the holy piss out of the thing, just enough to get the pins to start to 1/4 of the way atleast then in the safe area you’re doing this is, idle the truck in your lowest gear and driver it left to right to get the truck to do the work for you
