Being a former warehouse stocker in a previous and more bitter life, I can
vouch for Bill that he has, indeed, made a dolly. Dollies have no handrails
and have non-directional swivel wheels, whereas handtrucks normally have
fixed wheels, normally two, and a bar with a hand grasp of some sort. The
most common handtrucks are those seen used by the Coca Cola and beer
delivery men, both people close to my heart. The more common flat bed with
four wheels is usually called a handcart. I have a story about an old
girlfriend and a handcart, but that is very off-topic (as if this all
isn't).

Having said this, I don't know how in the world Bill can manage to steer
that thing straight since those wheels have a mind of their own most of the
time. Perhaps he's already worn grooves in the driveway? :)

Clear Skies!
