Proper maintenace on gear before an event
preventative maintenance will allow you insurance. Some things we cant prepare for like someone elses runaway dolly which might crash into your dolly breaking the axle or even damaging the wheels on your coffin case. Worst yet a garbage truck not seeing you while loading in and you narrowly escaping but your cart and gear destroyed. Leaving you with a bundle of junk and a broken fibula.

Chuck's Code Of Ethics...........
Do what's right for me and my business.
Don't try to be someone or something I am not.
Treat everyone fairly.
Only yell "FORE" when I mean it.

i don't bring a back up cart. If the cart goes flat, i'll put the muscles to work and carry it. Cart has not gone flat yet.
Some things are not essential for the event, so therefore, no back up.
regular mixer is not backed up. I have a very small backup mixer.
I don't always have a back up wireless mic. I sometimes have wired mics as back up.

We had a dolly, but after one event, a tire went flat. We limped it along by refilling it with air before each use. One day, we decided to check out either Home Depot or Lowe's (can't remember which one) and we found a cart that rates for 500lbs, folds up, and only cost about $40. The J Mac modified the castors so that they could move in any direction. We've been using this since December and we love it. 
Not having read through all the posts in this thread, my answer is that DJs are anarchistic creatures.
Having now read through all the posts in this thread, my answer remains. So sue me.
Dolly? Hello? Hello, Dolly?

Is it the Rubbermaid cart? I have 2 of them and I love them.
School starts in a week...do you have your tuition ($5000)? Please make the check out to Anna Pentikis. Thanks!
A dangerous practice. Cash or Bank check only....
Of course MY DJ Dojo also accepts Pepsi by the case & Pepsi Points, if you're interested, and we also teach Drunken Restraint style.....
I'm a Coke Cola guy Joe, so I finally found something about you I disagree with. LOL
Pepsi You've got to be kidding me.

People will ding for anything- or not. All a matter of mood, I guess.
Oh, I think Coke's great.....for filling bee traps and possibly other external uses. Ingesting it? Well, maybe with a vodka additive for sensory protection, but never straight. It tastes like metal cleaner.. Even RC is better.
The delicate and sensual hint of citrus as well as the lighter yet more satisfying bouquet and flavor of a fine Pepsi is the Nirvana of cola drinkers.
Beats hell out of having to make coffee after waking up too! Got all the basic food groups required for breakfast: Sugar, Wake Yer Face Up Fizz, and Caffeine.

As for disagreeing: You REALLY have to listen to a pair of 12" EVs, my friend...

Sorry that you didn't catch the sarcasm.
However, I do have memories of carrying crates full of records up stairs as a kid.
:sqembarrassed:
I've been known to use a single Eon-15 for very small gatherings.
I wore a tux to a wedding and everyone else showed up in jeans.
When I started DJing only a broadcaster or touring company could afford a wireless mic, and most of them didn't use them either.
When I used turntables stacking the gear wasn't really an option, and there's no rackmount kit for the Technics SL-1200MKII
Sometimes, I forget to bring a handtruck and I actually have to carry something in my bare hands!
Not sure what you mean by "playing with your party lights" during dinner - is that some kind of internet slang?
Surely you can come up with some real "ethical" issues rather than a litany of personal pet peeves?
