Handy Devices

John Richardson, Spring Hill, Tennessee, grew tired of climbing up into and jumping out of semitrailers. He had a fix. Using an old pallet as a base, he built a series of steps onto the top of the pallet. Now, it's easier for Richardson to load and unload the trailer. He moves the stair-pallet assembly around with forks on a tractor.
