Also try running it off A/C w/o the battery at all.dpiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397601206317363858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-9756854584370116972009-07-12T21:23:26.915+00:002009-07-12T21:23:26.915+00:00Revenge of the Terrapins!

I used to do a nightly cargo run entirely of papers. 22 pounds per bundle on average. In a Navajo you start at the second row seats and stack them to the bottom of the window frame all the way back to the rear door. 1500 pounds plus or minus everytime. Newsprint is surprisingly consistant on the volume to weight ratio.<br /><br />We used to see tomorrows paper no later than 21:30 barring problems with the presses. I fail to see how it could be so hard to get even yesterday's paper to where you are.
