    Got to love LTL...
    Only a few company's will spend the money and time to package their products to ride damage free. Some of it is the dock workers mis handling.
    A lot of freight should have never been picked up in the first place.

    When you go to stand the box up to strap it against the wall, and you can hear the pieces of glass sliding around inside the cardboard.
    Good times.

    Frameless shower doors. We hauled that garbage for all of about a week. I don’t think I saw ONE that wasn’t destroyed.

    I’ve only had a skid of bagged gravel that was recouped. Was a residential and the guys wife was just complaining about the BS he ordered. Never dealt with any of that stuff you all posted.

    Averitt and fedex seems to have the nicest stuff. I’ve never seen an averitt trailer loaded all crushed, smashed, and stacked.

    I’d be reworking that mess before I moved it.

    Whoever the genius was who loaded that should get 3 days off.
