    Just future reference Canon is 24hr drop. Also, i would recommend throwing a seal on the trailer and writing it on the BOL if the shipper doesn't provide one. The security guard at the shack flipped out when he saw the trailer with no seal. Tried calling a bunch of people, thought he was going to get the CEO out of bed to ask him what to do.

    Luckily a Canon brand security guy showed up and said to accept it as there was no seal listed on the BOL, but he didnt look pleased about the unsealed trailer being there.

    Just ran it an hour ago. Wasn't bad at all. Roads are divided two-lane highway of reasonable truck friendliness. Only adds about five miles to the trip.

    Given that it's West Virginia, it coulda been a lot worse.
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.

    What’s the route?

    I’m sure you guys aren’t the only ones having to do this. Perhaps one of you could post a thread under Road Conditions.

    @Redtwin : You will be pleased to know that the super sketchy dirt lot behind the super sketchy Motel 6 near the somewhat sketchy Pilot truck stop off of Exit 4 in south Indy is once again available for truck parking.

    And now I'm off to get some Indian food.
     
    Gremlin304, Redtwin and Lonesome Thank this.

    Don't blame the driver,he didn't know it was there,because he or she didn't check it in the first place.
