Does anyone know how much PIA charge for its cargo handling services in manchester,UK?

Probably best if you asked them directly, they have freephone numbers you can dial. If you are in the UK, it's 0800 587 1023 and they are available 24 hours apparently.

Can I tow a 20ft inclosed carhauler with 38ft kountryair 460 gas total trailer and cargo wt. 7500 lbs.?

I'm assuming that a kountryair 460 gas is an RV. Two hundred brands and models, it's hard to know them all.





Answer #1. Look somewhere in your RV, maybe a closet, somewhere there's a paper stuck to the wall that tells you your GVWR (Weight of your RV) and GCWR (Weight of your RV and Trailer and cargo). GCWR minus GVWR is how much you can two.





Answer #2. Most RVs, especially gas ones, are already near their maximum weight rating. i.e., they can tow about 2 to 3 thousand pounds. So, it is most likely that your trailer is 3 to 4 thousand pounds too heavy.Can I tow a 20ft inclosed carhauler with 38ft kountryair 460 gas total trailer and cargo wt. 7500 lbs.?

Why do American men wear wife beaters and cargo shorts?

Do you people not have normal clothes? The United States claims it is a super power and rich, but apparently people have a clothing problem in this country.Why do American men wear wife beaters and cargo shorts?

You shouldn't worry and be concerned about someone else's wardrobe! Who do you think you are by judging someone else based on how they dress? Besides, no one doesn't have a clothing problem in this country, so you need to get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just looked through my book...xb 06 and could not find it. when we bought it my husband went to the car lot and measured the cargo space to see if our 100 pound gas tank would fit and it would. you could just go to a car lot and measure it. the sale men don't mind because they think you might buy it. it is very large and just about the entire back of the car opens.Dimensions of cargo space in the scion xB (first generation)?

Are cargo pants and khaki pants same?

my school uniform is khakis but im getting cargos ! can i get away?Are cargo pants and khaki pants same?

khaki:


http://www.bennettsclothing.com/images/M鈥?/a>Are cargo pants and khaki pants same?
nope. Khakis are actually a color. that brownish greenish tan. And can be made of a number of materials. They can also but cut in a number of ways, but are most likely a little dressier-flat or pleat fronted, smooth leg, not so baggy.


Cargo pants are a kind of cut. they are baggier with a number of pockets, usually about halfway down the thighs.


So while you can get Cargo pants that are also khaki- they just have to be in the right color range- and you might even make your school uniform code, the names refer to two different things.
khakis describe the color:

cargos are the style:


http://www.ed-hardy.cc/proImage/ed%20har鈥?/a>





so if you got khaki cargos you should be good. unless they want specifics like khaki slacks or something.
probably, and probably not. it depends on what school you go to. In most private schools, they want you to look more in uniform, so cargos would most of the time won't work. If you go to a public school, you get a little more or alot more freedom of wearing what you want.
no, cargo pants come in other colors like black and brown, and they have a lot of pockets, under the uniform catagory the cargos with so many pockets probably wouldn't be allowed over plain khaki pants
Cargo pants are pants with pockets on the side. Khaki pants are a color of pants.
cargos have pockets everywhere=) and khaki pants just have the two pockets in front and two back pockets.


maybe??
khaki are generally a word to describe the color( aligt tan) while cargos are with alot of pockets.
uh khaki is a color u know and cargo is a type of pants as long as they r khaki u r fine
The only difference is the color. cargos are a little bit darker but thats it
no khakis are tan and cargos and ones with alot a pockets
cargos are khakis with big pockets on them.

Why cargo ships are loaded at the base?

Low center's of gravity help the ship's ride smoother and safer on their journeys. Why cargo ships are loaded at the base?
this must be a question being passed around at school, right? 2nd time we've gotten it in a couple of weeks now.





Define ';base'; please. Base as in the lowest portion of the hull on a cargo ship or ';base'; as in a military base where the ship is carrying items needed by our troops overseas? If the 1st it's been answered many times here already. If the latter it's for security.Why cargo ships are loaded at the base?
Im guessing you mean why are they loaded from top to bottom.





Well because if you keep the weight low as much as possible it gives the ship stability, and makes it harder to capsize or flip over. If you stacked all your cargo up on deck with little weight below the ship could very easily flip.
never mind you are all forgetting the fact that cargo is better protected from the sea elements.. but stability is a major consideration too.

Because they can't be loaded from the top?

How do i know where a cargo train is going?

i live in a town which a train runs through and i'd like to know where it's going, is there a website i can go to?





i live in oregonHow do i know where a cargo train is going?
You would have to know the train ID and even then unless you knew what the codes are for the cities it wouldn't do you any good.For example you might have an ID like the ILBCH would would be an intermodal train going from Long Beach Ca to Chicago Ill.I don't know of a website that would tell you though.And if you inquired of a crew about it they would probably report it in this day and age of heightened security.You might go look here and see if it helps.


http://www.railserve.com/Regional/ or this one http://www.railfan.net/How do i know where a cargo train is going?
Hello fellow Oregonian.





There is no good website as the trains are not really public knowledge, but since I am a hardcore railfan, maybe I can help.





Not knowing where you live, I'm going to have an extremely long list of trains, but I'm going to be as general as possible.





I'm assuming that the railroad is Union Pacific, since BNSF's line through Bend has been very quiet this quarter. So. Here goes.





If you're lucky enough to have the number for UP's equipment tracing system, then all you have to do is trace the number on the lead locomotive and it will tell you the train's final destination. However, since that number is not generally available to the public, careful observations are usually enough.





In the Willamette Valley, trains mostly go to Roseville or Eugene if they are southbound, Portland or Hinkle when northbound. Often you can tell by the types of cars. Eugene trains through the Valley (example Albany) generally have empty lumber cars and boxcars, with a few covered hoppers for cement. Roseville-bound trains often carry lots of lumber loads and have locomotives on the rear of the train to help it climb through the Cascades.





Northbound, the trains are the opposite. Portland-bound trains often have empty lumber cars and a mix of other stuff. I don't think there is a direct train to Lake Yard anymore, but Albina Yard trains usually have a lot of Canadian National equipment (CN, IC, WC, DWC marks on the cars) and a lot of Union Pacific hoppers. Hinkle-bound trains are more geared toward Canadian Pacific (CP, SOO marks) because of the interchange between the two railroads at Eastport, Idaho. They may also carry a lot of white ARMN refrigerator cars.





In the Columbia Gorge, the trains can generally be identified the same way, but with the added complication of trying to figure out which trains are going to Seattle and North Platte. There are also unit grain trains, some of which come from Canada, others from the Midwest (the Canada ones have CP/SOO stuff) and it is pretty much impossible to get an exact destination without the tracing system.





Also in the Columbia Gorge are the Canpotex potash trains which run Eastport-Portland Rivergate for export, the PGEX coal trains from Wyoming to Castle (Boardman), other coal trains going to Roberts Bank, BC for export, and the USEGL/UGLSE (Seattle-Arlington/Gilliam) garbage train rotation. This last has a lot of containers with canvas tops and if you're standing close enough to the train, you can smell it. Also look for ';Rabanco,'; ';Waste Management,'; and ';Allied Waste'; logos on the containers.





Intermodal (trailer/container) service is a bit easier to figure out. Most of these trains going through the Columbia Gorge are stack trains to/from Chicago and Seattle/Tacoma. A mostly APL train is probably going to Global North in Seattle. Type Z trains have very high priority traffic like UPS and FedEx trailers and those in the Gorge are generally Seattle-Chicago or going to Marion, AR. Some trains have both trailers and containers but if it has UPS or FedEx, it is a Z train.





Willamette Valley intermodal is much easier to figure out. UPS trailers make it a Z train on Los Angeles to Portland/Seattle rotation, otherwise it's probably an Oakland-Seattle or a Long Beach-Global North. Sometimes empty trains will run, which are called ';bare tables'; because of all the empty flatcars. UP calls them repositioning moves.





Speaking of repositioning, there are also autoracks through the Valley, which run on the AMLBAR, for Autos Mira Loma-Barnes Yard (Portland) Repositioning. These are empty racks for Toyota. I don't know much about auto trains in the Gorge, though.





I know it's a long answer, but it's about as close as you'll get to accurately identifying trains in Oregon.
Dont quote me on this but I'm sure American rail would have a control system similar to an air traffic system. We do in Australia and hence we can listen on a scanner and follow the movements on every train in our nearest control area. Bear in mind that these sort of control systems have powerful repeaters so you chould be able to cover a wide distance. Some of our passenger trains like the `Indian Pacific' have their own band but still need to get permissions and info from the state controllers too.
when it stops at your station one day u will see there s a ticket at side of the truck that will give u the destination that specific truck is going to.


You have to know where the line is cumming from and where it s heading.
Depending on which railroad it is you can go to their website and look at a map of their territory and see where you are at and go from there.
No, there is no website to know where the cargo train is going.But, the cargo train goes to some other places from your town.
you can just go on google maps or live maps and see where the rails lead to.
Jump on it and ride to see. Catch the one on the way back once you figure it out.
jump on the train next time you see it.


check the oregon train schedule
find out what company it is, go to the site if they have one, and check there
Lay your head on the rails and listen to the hum.
Jump in front of it and wait.
Follow its tracks.
hop in when it drives by
google it, they propably will lead u to one of the cargos official site

Fly to China with a 55'; plasma TV, Can I use the airline cargo service? ?

I called Northwest, they told me their cargo service is for shipping companies only, not individuals.


My TV is 130 lbs,oversize and overweight for checked-in baggage. Is there any other way I can bring it to China with an affordable fee?Fly to China with a 55'; plasma TV, Can I use the airline cargo service? ?
It would be cheaper to just buy one in China and sell the one you have here.Plus the voltage is different so that would be a problem plus the cost of shipping it would be very expensive.Fly to China with a 55'; plasma TV, Can I use the airline cargo service? ?
Why would you take this to China? The shipping fess will cost more than the saving of having bought it here. You just buy one there.
Why would you do this? It most likely won't work when you get it there. Different voltage and operating system for starters. China will probably assess a customs fee. Sell it here and buy one there, I bet it will be cheaper.

Why is it that when you transport by car, its a shipment,when you transport by ship,it's cargo?

The same reason we drive on parkways and park on driveways. No one knows.

When I pirate sees a cargo ship.. do they automatically think $$$$$?

Its like these cargo ships are mobile banks to them without a bank vault.





Whats funny is a bank will have more security and protection than a cargo ship. Yet the cargo ship is carrying much more resources than a bank and doesn't even have any security personnel onboard.





I can't understand why cargo ships travel around the Horn of Africa without being armed to the teeth..When I pirate sees a cargo ship.. do they automatically think $$$$$?
Yes.





The security for cargo ships is almost nonexistent today.





With respect to the responder who said these were Somali Waters, that is nonsense.





The Piracy is occurring over 500 miles from the Somali Coast. That is International Water not Somali.





As the ships move their travel further from the Somali Coast the Somali Pirates follow them farther out to sea.





The argument that this is Somali Water is nothing more than a Red Herring Argument to justify Somali Piracy.











If Somalia did claim that water as their own, they would be at war with the rest of the World and they would lose that War.When I pirate sees a cargo ship.. do they automatically think $$$$$?
First off the pirates don't automatically assume there's money on every cargo ship or expect it. They know that the is pretty much no security and will raid it and get money by holding one or more of the ships personel hostage and demand ransom and a way out.I think the maritime law, sea laws, should demand ship to have a security detail on these ships to ensure safe transport of the cargo and any other types of vessels any where in the world. I think your last statement was a good and should be brought up by people to Obamas eyes. Too bad, he's probably to lazy or inexperienced to handle something as 'big' as this
These ';pirates '; are former fishermen and their fishing waters were predated by big factory ships,thats why they turned to piracy.





';In a long interview with McClatchy at the jailhouse in Mandhera, an austere desert fortress in the autonomous northern region of Somaliland, where British forces held Italian POWs during World War II, Eid related what amounts to the pirates' creation myth, in which overfishing by European and Asian trawlers drove Somalia's coastal communities to ruin and forced local fishermen to fight for their livelihoods.





';Now the international community is shouting about piracy. But long before this, we were shouting to the world about our problems,'; said Eid, a bony-cheeked former lobsterman with a bushy goatee. ';No one listened.';





When huge foreign trawlers suddenly began appearing, the local fishermen who plied their trade with simple nets and small fiberglass boats were wiped out, Eid said.





';They fished everything 鈥?sharks, lobsters, eggs,'; he recalled. ';They collided with our boats. They came with giant nets and swept everything out of the sea.';
Ask them yourselves -- www.piratepiratepirate.com
Some ports wont allow armed ships to dock. My understanding is that this includes if you take the weapons off the deck.
Look at what Obama just did to the last ones.


He's very tough on terrorists and pirates.
I doubt BO will allow this because he is very soft on terrorism and pirates...

What seats +6 with most cargo space?

Which vehicles should I look at that can seat 6 or more and have the most available cargo space with all rows seated?





3 kids and 2 adults...not easy...and when we go out with friends...really not easy!





I do not want to enter the world of the Mini-Van!


Anything but a Mini-Van...seriously.





ThanksWhat seats +6 with most cargo space?
A large SUV, like the Chevrolet Suburban, will seat 8-9 people, depending on what kind of front seats are installed.





A Crew-Cab pickup with bench seats can seat 6 with comfort and plenty of cargo room in the back.

Compared to an empty ship, would a ship loaded w/ a cargo of styrofoam sink deeper into water, or rise?

Compared to an empty ship, would a ship loaded w/ a cargo of styrofoam sink deeper into water, or rise?Compared to an empty ship, would a ship loaded w/ a cargo of styrofoam sink deeper into water, or rise?
Deeper. The styrofoam has mass to it, moreso than the air that is currently filling the void space in the boat. Therefore with the added mass the boat will have to displace more water before reaching it's boyancy point. Displacing more water will cause it to sink further in the water.Compared to an empty ship, would a ship loaded w/ a cargo of styrofoam sink deeper into water, or rise?
Due to weight it will sink and that depends on the load. Styrofoam is a tricky part to fool the answers!? Do you know the


answer to this one: What weighs more 1 kg of cotton or 1 kg of metal?
The ship would still sink, but theoretically, if the buoyancy of the styrofoam was equal to or greater than the weight of the whole ship, the boat would not sink. what the other respondends don't seem to realize is, that if the ship is sinking, there WILL be water inside of the ship.
It would sink deeper, of course. A ship loaded with Styrofoam would not be as heavy as one loaded with, say, steel, but it would be heavy enough to sink lower into the water.
sink deeper (the ship would be more dense, not less).... if the ship became submerged, it would float, assuming the styrofoam doesn't float away
It would be deeper. The only bearing on the ships level is the weight of the ship, PLUS the weight of the cargo. What the cargo actually is, is irrelevant.
Sink deeper. Since the ship isolates the water from the styrofoam, it is just weight. The weight could be rocks for all the water knows. However, they HAVE used ping-pong balls to float a sunken ship to the surface so it could be salvaged. They pumped the hold full of them and the air inside of them made the ship bouyant.
The water line on a ship is dependent on the ship's weight, water displaced, and density of the medium that it is floating in.





Have you ever seen an actual cargo ship? If so, you see them loaded and stacked with those seatrain containers. What do you think is inside the seatrain container other than the goods? There is an awful lot of dunnage in there. That dunnage adds weight and does not subtract from it.
twjones is right , unless the ship carry hydrogen or helium ballooms.


So long as the cargos are in the ship and heavier than air the ship will sink deeper.
