Most Things Worth Doing, Are!!

That quote is from Joseph Carr. He is a wine manufacturer. I like that quote because building and selling the Nancy at the best possible price is worth doing.

Not everyone needs a Nancy but if you find that you are having a difficult time throwing 4–5-inch straps over a tall load, you might want to try the Nancy. I guarantee that if you follow the directions and are not satisfied, send it back for a full refund.  No Bull !!!

It’s hay season and the second cutting is about to happen. You step deck and flatbed drivers know that you need 2 straps per bale to comply. and sometimes you need to tarp the load and that adds more straps. With the Nancy, you only need to throw the strap one time to get it placed where you want it. The Nancy speeds up the process and saves your arms and shoulders.

Be safe and have a great summer.

Some Assembly Required

These are the three words that can strike fear into the hearts of ordinary people everywhere!  But wait, you are not ordinary. You are Truck Drivers, better yet, you are Flatbed Truckers!! You can handle anything you put your mind to.

If you are new to my site, I want you to know that my goal when I invented the Nancy was to make a product that worked, was easy to use, and was affordable.  I met those goals and then along comes this crazy inflation and out of this world fuel costs.  I know when the price of fuel goes up that the cost of freight goes up as well. Unfortunately, the drivers pay does not go up accordingly. (Go Figure)

The price right now on the Nancy is $135.00, and I ship it to you anywhere in the contiguous United States of America. I ship it complete and ready to use.

The shipping costs keep increasing and I do not want to raise the price, so I am going to be shipping the Nancy unassembled.  This is my way to do what I can to help your pocket book.

The handle will be predrilled, and the screws and instructions will be included. It should take all of 5 minutes to attach the head to the handle and that includes opening the box. I appreciate all the orders and comments I have received. I promise to keep doing everything I can to keep costs down.

 

I look forward to meeting more of you in person this year.

 

Never Give Up!!

Made in America!!

Hello truckers,  I pray that you and your families are doing well and staying safe. The last two years have been a challenge for all of us. I personally want to thank all of you drivers for getting up everyday and  pointing that tractor down the road. You are the heart and soul of America and you find a way to get the job done. When you see your brothers and sisters fueling up or getting a cup of coffee, thank them for helping keep America moving.

Thank you for your dedication and determination every day.  That is something to be proud of.

 

God Bless,
Cowboy Dave

She may not be pretty

Hi Driver!

I hope you had a great Independence day. God Bless America and all you drivers out there keeping the freight moving .

This hot weather has been miserable to throw straps over tall loads. Hey!! I have an idea.

Get the “Nancy”!! Save time and your elbow, wrist and shoulder. The Nancy will get you back in your air conditioned cab fast . As the great singer Jimmy Soul said , “ she may not be pretty, but she sure can cook.” And as I say, “You may not need it every day, but when you do it really comes in handy.

If you’re driving through Minnesota on I-94 get off at Exit 127 for US71/MN-28 and stop at the Truckers Inn.

Not only can you get fuel and a hot meal, you can also buy “The Nancy” there. Say hi to Lowell and tell him Cowboy Dave sent you.

 

Keep safe and keep the shiny side up.

Hello Fellow Truckers

Hello fellow truckers!!!

We finally have our web site running correctly and you can now purchase online!!!  It took a lot longer to get the Merchant services system set up than I had anticipated. I thank you for your patience.

I would like to thank my Merchant Services Guru and my web Master for all their help. I could not do it without them.

I am looking forward to meeting some of you at trucks stops around the country.

I am confident that you will really enjoy the NANCY.  It’s not a tool you use every day, but it sure makes life easier when you need to toss a bunch of straps over a load of hay, pipe or any other tall product. you are hauling. The more you use it, the faster you will become.

From time to time, I will be adding posts to Daves Corner. I have a couple other things I am working on, and will keep you  up to date as they progress.

Keep safe and keep the shiny side up

Cowboy Dave
