    I assume he’s assuming it’s overweight but I doubt it. 20-25k for the tractor would leave 15-20 for the cart with a 40 empty weight. It’s a lot of ###-uming though

    One of the things I never liked about flatbed work is the inherent expectation that doing things the safe way sometimes has to take a back seat to economic concerns. I have a huge problem with that.

    I guess you’ve never hauled empty super sacks before? That’s about the only way to do it. Works just fine. They reuse the sacks.

    They aren’t fapping in the picture ;) can really crank down on empty pallets, especially ones that will be reused. Two straps per stack would be ideal.
