    Me either... They had more than one forklift there that could take the bundles off.

    uh huh wonder if they used the crane for them even though they took off 4 bundles at time with the amt of time it took to unload it(2hrs) they would of came out better just using a forklift

    Exactly. Pulled in at 0730, pulled out at 0930... They probably couldve carried it by hand faster. Everytime they pulled some off they had to insert bars under the 4 bundles, then hook up straps, then readjust so the bundles didnt fall and get damaged. Surprised if they didnt damage a few of um.

    On the happy side, my pay rate on this settlement went up. Not sure as to why, but it did by .01 per mile.
