Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

I couldn't on that. It was electronics inside. Guy specifically told me to take it easy on them. The crates were pretty flimsy.

 

All these tarp pictures remind me why my 8’ers are sitting in my shed keeping the mice family warm that lives in them.

 

I gave mine to a guy on here years ago, smartest thing I ever did. I should give my 6’ and 4’ tarps away too.

 

I’m not saying bash a 6” section out of each corner. Just a few taps with a 16 oz hammer rounds off the corners nicely. I do it all the time with aircraft parts, glass, ect. If a few taps on the corner damages they product inside they should have packaged it better.

 

Lol, right on. It was made of that real thin 1/8" thin ply. They were super light duty. You would think they would be a little more stout. But, since they didnt have to haul them....I don't think they cared. That load went on the no haul list though. Never going back there again. Just not worth it. I ended up getting a few extra bucks from them in the end. Just not enough for the hassle. As soon as they showed me the load, I should have just walked away, but I had my next 2 loads already lined up. O'well.

 

Looks like a good Conestoga load to me. But most shippers don’t wanna pay conestoga rates. Paragraph

A few months ago I showed up with an open step deck to pick up a piece of factory machinery. It was part of a three load LTL company had booked. The consignee was paying for the load, but the shipper would only load a conestoga with exclusive use. Those rates are literally opposite ends of the spectrum, and we had to walk away from the load.

 

Yeap, those were my exact words to the guy. Looks like a Conestoga load to me! A lot of folks refuse to load a Conestoga though. They don't want the liability.

 

Here you go @midcon
I built a false floor to keep them dry. They normally all stack up nice. But it was super windy out and i couldnt get them folded up nicely.

 

All aboard the hype train.

 

Anyone else find it a little ironic how we spend so much to store $5 items and scraps? It's like spending 10k on a fine dresser and filling it up with Walmart clearance t-shirts and old cut up rags lol.
