In other's experience, is it more common for a venue or a trucking company to provide wheel chocks for trailers? If it is the venue that usually supplies the chocks, what size range do most semi trailer tires fall into? The trailer sitting at the dock right now has a tire OD of 36", but they look a little on the small side. Or if anyone will give me the name of one or more of the trucking companies that specialize in theater/concerts/etc, I will give them a call to ask. I can't remember the names off the top of my head and I must be using the wrong words to search the internet because I'm striking out so far.

Of course, the chocks are more as a precaution. I don't know if they'd be able to stop a trailer on an incline from rolling all by themselves. All of the trailers are backed up to loading docks so even if they did roll they'd only go about six inches. In conclusion, my answer is 4x4. I wouldn't take that as bible truth, though.

I used to pay pilots for their time based upon when the wheel chocks of the plane were removed at the departure city until they were set at the arrival city. The pilots often earned $120,000 per year in 6 minute intervals. /s/ Richard > In other's experience, is it more common for a venue > or a trucking company to provide wheel chocks for > trailers?

You will cause problems for many people on the list by doing so. The most common reason for reporting a mailing list as spam is trouble (or not wanting to deal with) unsubscribing. It's easy to unsubscribe from Stagecraft, sending email to stagecraft-off [at] theatrical.net, but like all list requests, you must answer a confirmation email to be sure that *you* really made the request. If you have trouble unsubscribing, write to: stagecraft-web [at] theprices.net This leads me to the specific problem that prompted my reminder. If you hear from AOL members wondering why they aren't getting the list, it is because AOL has temporarily blocked the list server's connections. Someone reported nine list messages (from about a week ago) as spam through AOL, and we are thus banned (I'm presuming temporarily...) for excessive complaints. If it lasts long, I'll look into re-routing mail to AOL through another server. Unfortunately I can only narrow the culprit down to one of 15 "single message" AOL subscribers. It may well have been an accident, but the result is the same whether it was accidental, lazy, or whatever. This is AOL's commentary on the situation... I'm in the process of applying for AOL's bulk sender list, but problems like this don't help! I've had similar problems with Hotmail/MSN and Yahoo, though Hotmail, MSN, and a coupla the ".edu's" on the list are more likely to simply randomly refuse connections... contact me off list if you want info regarding alternative email service.

As of now, I'm still getting stagecraft messages through AOL. I only report, as SPAM, messages with very suspicious sender names - usually involving a lot of random alphanumeric characters - and obviously commercial messages ("performance" drugs & investments seem to be the most common). Based on the very few SPAM messages I get, I'd say that AOL's efforts are effective. Hope you can clear up the issue soon.

When I'm able to open that mail box, I transfer them as "This is not spam" and then read them from the inbox. Interestingly... I have been getting your messages about the list and the spam problems. I *think* emails go into the "spam" folder when more than 5 names are in the "send to" box. Not certain though. Haven't been able to find a common thing with the ones that end up there.
