What's the deal with those lumber frames they hammer into the flatbed?
Do I need to remove those after the unload? I asked my dispatcher but he doesn't know.

Or do I just leave them and let the next shipper worry about it?
Dumb question (sorry)

Take then off
Speedy356, cke, TravR1 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'd of pry'd them off the deck with a pry bar, claw hammer, screwdriver, winchbar anything that would work & left em at the consignee.. They come with the load is my answer if any blocking left behind is something I can't use, or don't want..
Unless you are hauling the exact same load, the next shipper is more than likely going to want a clean flat deck to work with..
If you don't have any dunnage, maybe keep 4-6 of those 4x4's. Many shippers require you show up with your own..Truckermania, clausland, MACK E-6 and 9 others Thank this. -
I always kept them. They're worth money.
clausland, Speed_Drums, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 8 others Thank this. -
Unless you can use em at home, any dunnage not yours gets pried off and tossed at the receiver.
No point carrying more than you need. (And pine isnt great dunnage for most things)Bean Jr., Swine hauler, singlescrewshaker and 1 other person Thank this. -

You can always get on the cb at the truckstop and ask if anyone wants them, it’s soft lumber so probably not worth much but someone out there would probably take them.
Drivers that deliver reels to our warehouse usually leave them and I reuse them.Speed_Drums, shooter19802003, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 3 others Thank this. -
Its a Choctaw TS. There's like 5 trucks here. Their dumpster is locked also.
The little mistakes man.I could have been loaded today. But I drove away without thinking.
Maybe they won't use that top portion, or they'll have a dumpster for me.Attached Files:
Speed_Drums, singlescrewshaker and Kyle G. Thank this. -

if you happen to drive by a homeless encampment, maybe they will take them and build tents..??TravR1 Thanks this.

That dunnage prevented you from being loaded again today?
Next load just see if you can throw them away or stack them up in a nice pile and tie down. There's likely somewhere on your trailer you could store them. Between braces under trailer, landing gear brace, somethingSpeed_Drums and MOBee Thank this.
