The worst I've seen was a gigantic pile of empty five gallon pails with the lids on in a recycle yard.. They weren't palletized, they weren't shrink wrapped, and they weren't banded.
The shipper wanted them loaded to fourteen feet high and the full length of a 48 foot trailer.
Plus, the driver was supposed to hand load them. By himself.
The driver called me and told me what the shipper wanted. He said there wasn't enough rigging in the whole world to tie down a mess like that. I told the driver to head for home. Empty.
I called the shipper, who barely spoke English, and told him we wouldn't be taking the load. He got a little chesty about it and said that the last three flatbeds he called turned the load down too. He said that where he came from...some unpronouncable Slavic country ending in 'stan...they hauled loads like that all the time.
I told him to call somebody with a van. Or a dump truck. A garbage truck might work too.
Funny thing, he's never called us again.wheelofgrime, Lab_Rat_Logistics, DieselDisciple and 20 others Thank this. -

You guys are 5 pages into this, with 3 or 4 pictures.
I could post 10 pics per post, and have 5 pages in under an hour of Swift photos.
