    Here's yesterday. My highest paying load so far, and it's mulch of all things. My ETA was right at the end of the window, and I was a minute late. Still loaded no problem. Then I made it to the receiver one minute before the window expired. It was Walmart. They still unloaded me, and let me park. Good day.

    At the shipper, there was a dry van in front of me and another flatbedder. They had us go in front of him. We were strapped and rolling out and he was still waiting. They're cursed.

    Pallets were fat, and I was hanging over the trailer about three inches on both sides. I decided to pull it. What would you guys have done?

    Out of the 50 or so mulch loads ive pulled this year already , its rare i get one that isnt hanging over the sides...idk about the places ur pulling out of but it looks like they pack those pallets really well... The place im at is half assed and the shrink wrap falls apart in 75 miles or so and that black plastic at the top is the only thing that keeps those bags on the pallet. If that comes off ur screwed .. I have lost 4 bags total. And almost had an entire pallet come off if I didnt pull over and catch it in time.. Luckily all the ones ive lost came off when i was in middle of nowhere and nobody saw it or got hurt . but just something to be aware of .

    Whelp, I'm hooked back up to old faithful. 120 miles loaded, and 120 back with an empty for $1,500. One thing I learned is holy CRAP are these trailers easy to put in a hole. Beats the heck out of a spread, even with a dump valve.

    But anyways....never again.

    So you're telling me I can't load another 70k lbs on top?

    Well crap, one of these days we'll figure it out, maybe.
