Brother-in-law is taking furniture back home on his tractor trailer and I was wondering if pallet jacks lifted high enough off the ground to get this furniture into the bed of the semi? If not, any suggestions?

This looks like a well done resume. You should send it and hand delivery it to as many companies that you can.

My daughter has a horse and really would like to pull it to shows. I already pull a small equipment trailer with my car, but I know that pulling horse trailers is different.
Here are my car’s "specs":
Curb weight (lb.) 4295
Cargo volume (cu. ft.) [2] behind front/middle/rear seats 148.9/94.5/43.6
Towing capacity [3] (lb.), standard/maximum [4] 1500/3500
Seating capacity 8
Fuel tank (gal.) 20
3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve VVT-i V6
266 hp @ 6200 rpm
245 lb.-ft. @ 4700 rpm
5-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive with intelligence (ECT-i)
Power-assisted ventilated Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), and 4-wheel disc brakes with Brake Assist [1]
I have no idea what any of this means, but I also know that you have to have a heavy enough vehicle, strong enough engine and brakes, etc. We would look at getting maybe a 1,000 lb trailer and putting two ~1200 lb horses in it. Is this possible at all? Or should I just tell her it’s absolutetly impossible?
Thank you everyone! I figured it was too dangerous to try, but I just wanted to have someone back me up. We have already been hiring people to take the horse to shows, so I will tell her to stick with that.
You should not attempt to pull anything but maybe jet skis behind a minivan, First off its not designed to pull and the brakes aren’t big enough to stop the weight of a trailer and two horses. Also your van doesn’t have a transmission that can stand up to the strain of the added weight.
Also your van suspension cant support that weight.

Help!
My wife and I just purchased a new 2009 GMC Sierra Ext cab, regular box SLT. We are somewhat confused as to what we can pull with out truck. The owners manual leads me to believe it is set up to tow only 6700 lbs, but with the added features we believe it is capable of pulling more. We would like to purchase a lightweight fifth wheel, with a rear living area designed for basically the two of us. So far GMC has not been very helpful.
Our truck features are:
2009 GMC Sierra with Power Pack Plus package 5.3L V8.
Heavy duty locking Rear differential 3.42 gearing
Heavy Duty Trailering Package, with 17", 6 lug wheels
Automatic transmission 4 speed with heavy duty transmission cooling
Z71 Suspension Package
Z82 Trailering Equipment Heavy Duty
6800 lbs GVW
Brake Vac Power 17" Disc/Drum W/ABS 7000 lbs
Thanks for any suggestions or help.
Sincerely,
Clueless
Emiller,
Thanks for such a quick response, yeah it is 2wd. The invoice on my truck says max gvwr 6800 ( the website you suggested said standard was 6400 with 7000 being max,) so I am above minimum/standard payload. In addition the payload limit placarded to my driver pillar says max payload 1610, while the same website says 1373) It is the 4 speed auto with 3.42 so I guess I am nor clear up to the 10,700 limit, but still have no idea of my limit, in particular on how it applies to a fifth wheel we may purchase. Thanks again.
A little less "Clueless"
I assume you have the 2wd version and that the towing package would put you closer to the max towing.
2wd
Standard towing is 6,700 lbs. Max towing is 10,700 lbs.
If not here is the 4wd version.
4wd
Standard towing is 7,500 lbs. Max towing is 10,400 lbs.
You can build your truck on the GMC website and see.

Three Mexican citizens have been sentenced to U.S. federal prison for their roles in stealing heavy equipment and selling it to people in Central America, authorities said today.
A fourth man, a Houston resident, is scheduled to be sentenced later this year, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston.
Federal authorities said that Victor Antonio Garcia, 27, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison and ordered to pay $380,000 in restitution; Rito Jasso-Zorilla, 32, was sentenced to three years and five months in prison and ordered to pay $12,056 in restitution; and Orlando Gonzalez Huerta, 29, was sentenced two years in prison.
Yuri David Melendez, 42, of Houston, is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 16.
He faces up to five years in prison for his role in the scheme as well as up to life prison on a separate conviction for narcotics trafficking.
Federal officials said that Melendez received requests from contacts in Central America for the purchase of stolen tractor trucks, trailers, tankers and other Heavy Equipment.
Melendez targeted equipment at Houston-area industrial and commercial sites and then recruited others to helped steal it and transport it to Central America, usually Honduras and Guatemala. They would drive the purloined equipment to staging locations near Edinburg and then take it to Central America.
The customers paid Melendez after the equipment arrived, federal officials said.
The scheme began in about 2001. Melendez was arrested in January at his Houston home and he pleaded guilty in May

Do the crime serve the time. They should have got longer just as any American would have.
