Graham Solutions has a full schedule for 2010.Among the laundry list of activities happening here is our grand opening in South America.Graham Solutions has tapped a new market in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay. Most if not all of these countries have a desperate need for some of the truck accessories we offer and more.Not to mention the fact that many American manufacturers of automotive aftermarket accessories are seeking distribution in the Southern Hemisphere and we intend to be a part of the action.Part of the reason we’re exploring South America is because of the increase in the implementation of infrastructure in many of these countries and the opportunities that that alone brings due to internet connection improvements.Products in demand there include ATV’s and related products as well as many truck cargo management accessories.After we’re settled there, we’ll be donating a percentage of sales to help preserve the environment.So watch out for our update as things move forward.Our office currently in Temecula, California will be moving to Ventura County, California in or around March of 2010.Our contact information changes will be updated on the site as well as with industry specific organizations such as SEMA and other vendors, so if you have trouble reaching us, you can always refer to the site, as the new number will be posted.Our website www.cargocatch.com will be undergoing a major upgrade in early 2010.We will be retrofitting the site for easier navigation, product specials, video, live chat and more.In addition, our newsletter will be updated and posted monthly once the new site is running smoothly.We will be taking on many new manufacturers and products and offering technical resources site-wide for many new products where .pdf based installation guides and video will be available for viewing.Graham Solutions is very well known for its cargo nets for all vehicles as well as its manufacturing of very high quality custom cargo nets for many applications.Some of the heavy duty nets we sell for trucks are best-sellers, and because we have so many requests for custom nets that are slightly larger than the current heavy duty pickup truck nets off the shelf that we sell, we intend to launch our new line of custom cargo nets for pickups that will basically cover square footage in the pickup beds per customer specification.That’s right, you will design your own net at a very reasonable price.Our new custom cargo nets for pickups will include heavy duty commercial grade 2” strap webbing in many colors, industrial stitching and the strongest hardware available today.Carrying a taller load?No problem.We’ll just throw in adjustable straps as long as you want to accommodate taller loads.Keep an eye out for new nets coming to this section of our site http://www.cargocatch.com/custom-cargo-nets.html .Graham Solutions is a product development company specializing in the design, development, sale and distribution of high quality truck, motorcycle and atv related products.If you have questions regarding our products and services, please email cargocatch@cargocatch.com or call the number at the top of any of our website pages.

A lot of guys and gals with pickup trucks see an aftermarket accessory product they like, they buy it and install it on their truck. Most of the time, everything fits, functions and looks great. However, every once in a while, it can turn into a nightmare when you have an uneducated driver behind the wheel. Therefore, it’s best to educate yourself about your truck. Let’s face it, if you’re going to trick out your truck, use your head and do the research instead of just tunnel visioning in on how bad ass your truck is going to look. This way you won’t look like one of those idiots at the lake who doesn’t know how to dock his boat or back up his trailer and who gets pissed off at his wife for leaving the empty beer cans on the floor of his truck.
Ok now that we’re thinking straight, let’s look at a particular example of what NOT to do.
You just bought 2 new ATV’s. Big wheelbases and heavy. You’ve heard about the Diamondback ATV Series Package for pickup trucks, the most popular and absolutely the most superior product of its class. You want to buy one, load up your ATV’s on your truck, hook up the boat and head out. Everything looks like it’s going to work out just perfectly and you can show off your new toys. You’ve planned your trip, everybody’s been invited. You’re all fired up. The Diamondback ATV package gets dropped in your driveway, you spend the afternoon installing it (installs in 20 minutes or less, but if you’ve got the garage door open, music cranked and a beer in your hands, it’ll be an afternoon job). After you get the locking rods dialed in and it fits as tight as a glove, you mount the bars and rails, test out the ramps and get ready to load up the ATV’s, day-dreaming of next weekend. The Diamondback installation job is done, you decide to clean out the boat instead of mounting the ATV’s, you’ll do it tomorrow morning.
One of your buddies says to you while you’re nursing your beer and boasting about your new atv cover package… “Hey dude, what about your suspension? Are you gonna be able to pull your boat while you’ve got two heavy machines on top of your truck and a bed full of cargo?”
At first, you say to yourself, “oh yeah, no problem”…then the stress and worry just start eating away at your ego. Your buddy is now nursing one of your beers, laughing. You don’t know what to say, so you try to keep it positive. You put the ramps back up on the truck, and you start to load up one of your machines. Looks okay but once the second ATV goes up, the suspension just drops and the back of the truck is sagging big time. You feel like a complete idiot. How in God’s name are you possibly going to be able to face all your friends with a sagging back end? Your buddy slams the rest of his beer, grabs another one out of your fridge, and says that his neighbor just installed his Diamondback cover on his truck and he had installed Super Springs and done some other minor tweaks to his suspension and the ATV’s loaded up fine and looked great, and by the way he’ll be at the lake next weekend with his truck.
Your ego has been crushed beyond comprehension. You can’t do the trip, you just can’t. You’ll be the laughing stock of the trip. You could have some suspension work done, but you blew all your credit and your wife went shopping and tapped out the remaining available balance on supplies for the trip. Basically, you’re done.
Who knows how this trip ended, but the simple solution is this. If you’re adding accessories to your vehicle, especially high-end aftermarket products, make sure you work your way down to the street level on how your truck will be impacted from an efficiency point of view and use your common sense. Call your dealer and your truck’s manufacturer, ask questions, get facts and you’ll be sippin’ proudly, prepared.

One thing is for sure. There are a ton of new customers on the internet by the minute. Many of these customers are used to top notch customer service, and they expect it. Bottom line, if you sell over the internet, you better be able to provide first class customer service, or you’ll lose customers in the end.
Not only should you communicate via internet, but people very much appreciate a phone call. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be providing you with their phone # at all on the order. Of course you may not be able to call EVERY customer and honestly there may not be a good reason to do so, many people enjoy not receiving phone calls as well. But if a customer is purchasing a high dollar item such as a truck cover or custom cargo net, a call or more than just one call is definitely called for!
We hear horror stories of people purchasing from large retail sites, you know who they are, only to discover that when they have a customer service issue, it’s impossible to get somebody on the phone to deal with whatever problem they have.
If you’re purchasing automotive aftermarket accessories online and you can’t find what you’re looking for, just give us a call and we’ll source it for you based on your specific truck year, make, model and bed size depending on the product. Just placing an order online for what you think will fit your vehicle, is risky. And many online retailers don’t offer support from people that specialize in vehicle cargo management. If you see a SEMA logo on a site that you’re purchasing automotive aftermarket accessories from, you can pretty much guarantee that you’ll get great service.
It all comes down to specialized customer service. The foundation is not in outsourced call centers in the Phillipines or anywhere else, it’s with Americans providing old-fashioned customer service from the inside out, people who specialzie in the products that you sell and who speak English. I had a rep once ask me for my social security number, and this person was in another country. I just laughed and hung up.
When someone places an order on our site that requires attention or follow-up, we constantly get kudos from those who placed the order claiming that it’s almost undeard of to receive a phone call from a website that you’ve purchased from. We’re here to change all that. Customer service is in our blood, and we provide unparalleled customer service, guarantee the lowest prices, and treat every customer the way they expect to be treated.
If you’re looking for contract sewing production and or consulting services, you’ve come to the right place.
When Graham Solutions got its start several years back, we spent a significant amount of time in San Diego and Tijuana and Tecate, Mexico. This was a time of product development, gathering and documenting resources and contacts and learning the international trade right next door, particularly for contract sewing and metals, primarily aluminum. We also found the best taco joint in Tijuana.
Though Mexico in general doesn’t have the most pristine reputation currently due to the cartel wars, industry is booming as far as we can see and the quality of products coming out of Mexico is phenomenal and always has been. We’ve been in contact with several industry professionals there who, especially in Tijuana, are hunkering down in their offices and staying out of the streets. It’s funny, we speak to many Mexicans on a regular basis. Their attitudes toward the problems there are no where near as freaked out as ours are as Americans. It’s almost as if they’re used to living in that environment.
But just because of the drug wars, the contract sewing doesn’t stop. Our contacts in Mexico are as strong as ever and visiting Mexico as a potential client to Mexican manufacturing is relatively safe because in most cases the government officials will pick you up at the border, or a representative from the company you are visiting will accommodate you with safe travel. However, everything can also be done via email which we recommend. Many of the manufacturing plant owners are American anyway, who live stateside, so they are also willing to meet you in California and everything can be coordinated here even down to the shipping address for samples, etc…given that we provide shelter services in California where your materials and finished products will be picked up and delivered.
When you contact us to inquire about our services and contacts in Mexico and San Diego, we will review your product, volume intended and materials used to put you in direct contact with the best possible solution for your respective project.
Please contact us today at cargocatch@cargocatch.com for further details and general information.
Diamondback Truck Covers are no doubt the burliest covers available in the automotive aftermarket today.If you’re a contractor, an ATV enthusiast or just want to completely seal and secure your pickup truck bed, there’s a Diamondback Truck Cover to fit your needs.
When most customers call us about their truck and the Diamondback options available to them, they realize that this purchase will be a custom to fit order for their truck.That means when the order goes into production, it’s got their name on it and is being made specifically to their bed size and environment.
There are many important things to consider when purchasing a Diamondback Cover for your truck.First thing is, what are you using it for?Diamondback has a plethora of accessories that go with the cover as compared to other cover options.
If you’re into ATV’s, and your truck is a 6.5’ short bed, and you’re hauling 2 ATV’s on a side load, you’ll have to purchase the extension package and double check with us first, if your ATV’s are large, whether or not those machines will fit the application you purchase.Chances are it will but it’s always good to nail down these little details beforehand.If you’re only hauling one ATV on a short bed, rear load will suffice.Also, if your truck is all jacked up, you may have problems with the ramps.All ATV packages come with the HD Cover including 12 cleats pre-installed, removable bars and rails, ramps and cab guard or HD cab guard depending on your application.
The HD is for the contractor or someone who uses their truck strictly for work and who needs to stack up to 1600lbs on top or for the guy who wants the strongest, most reliable, secure and accessible pickup truck cover on the market.Cab guards, ladder racks, cargo boxes for underneath, tie down cleats, ramps, adapter bars, rails are all accessories that can be purchased either with your package or separately.
If your intention is just to simply seal and secure your bed and haul minimal weight (less than 400 lbs), an SE will suffice.It’s good to have a tailgate key lock, and if you don’t have one, we can get you one that you can install yourself at a reasonable price, or you can have the manufacturer install it for you.
There are several questions we’ll ask you regarding your truck when purchasing a Diamondback Truck Cover.First of all, it’s best to call us direct at 619-884-8563 or simply send us an email with your year, make, model and bed size of your truck.Secondly, let us know if you have bed rail caps on your bed rails, if you have a factory installed track system inside your truck bed, what kind of bedliner you have and any other pertinent information about your truck bed.

These covers are so heavy duty, and one who has that ever so personal kind of relationship with his or her truck will understand that after only one year of using this cover, which will last forever anyway, you’ve already made your money back and more, even before the $100 rebate!!Especially if you own ATV’s!!
The promotion that Diamondback runs through November 14 of 2008 is in conjunction with several airings of a commercial that runs either on the internet or on TV.For more information on how to take advantage of this promotion, give us a buzz today so we can get your truck sized up and outfitted with probably the hottest cover to enter the marketplace in a long time, and for a long time to come!
Graham Solutions specializes in the sale, installation and support of Diamondback Truck Covers.We’ve been selling these covers for years, and they are undoubtedly the toughest pickup bed covers on the market.All we get is fired up customers who send us photos of their trucks with the Diamondback.And check out the new line-x coating!!:
Let’s face it, if you’ve got a tonneau cover on your truck that only opens one way, chances are you get a bit frustrated when you can’t reach items directly behind the bulkhead of your cab.With the Diamondback Truck Cover, that problem is eliminated because the cover has 2 separate panels that open from the center of the bed, at the center piece, which is secured with 2 non-permanent c-clamps on each side.
You may say, well, I can use the rolling cover.Ok, that’s cool, but when you want to stack 500-1600 lbs or more on top of your truck and utilize the cargo space of your bed more efficiently or head to the desert with a couple quads on your truck while you use your trailer for the boat, good luck with a roll cover or any other cover for that matter.
For more information on Diamondback Truck Covers and other options for your truck, please call us today!
