LTL in Pictures

Bad day for one of our linehaulers. No one seriously hurt.

 

Neither one minded and were happy to get off their docks instead of waiting around after closing time for dispatchers to attempt to get it covered. Near daily SOP, actually had them use us more because I'd get them picked up by their close time

 

1200 combined. Bars good for 1100 each. There's actually a total of 12 skids on six sets of bars on that load. Sanitary wet wipes. Bottom orange stuff is crusher parts for machines like this , heavy dense stuff 2000 lbs a skid:

 

Back when my route was out 90-170 miles one way, I used to deck stuff all the time and they rode back good. I was the only driver out there so they pretty much counted on me to get everything. Never really a problem. I remember stacking small skids 3 high then decking over those. I knew my customers well so they were willing. One time I managed to fit 71 skids on a 48 foot trailer.

 

Beat my record of 57 on a 53

 

I loaded 80+ pallets on a 53 foot flatbed before. Tons of those small skids stacked three high... Securement was fun.

 

intermodal containers always flip over in our yard, ill start taking pictures lol
