Hauling coils

I've hauled a lot of skidded coils,eye to the sky on a pallet,out of Shreveport.

 

They usaully always say X number of racks required for the load if needed.I hauled some larger coiled tubing but no racks were needed,they were shipped in big timber cradles.

I didn't own any coil racks so I would pass on those loads if they weren't skidded.

 

All last summer I was seeing those loads,$2.69 was the lowest.I hauled a lot into Sioux Falls,and for about a month there were loads from across the river in Louisville to Pleasanton Texas.Always easy to get loaded and unloaded,easy money.

 

There is no way to haul a coil safely without dunnage inside of coil rack.. unless it is already on a pallet..Even then unless its eye to sky, it need to be in a rack imo.. id imagine without dunnage its just going to be sitting on the deck, which is what a rack is supposed to eliminate. Plus it will probably damage the coil as soon as it sets down on the sides of the rack.. coils is one of the last loads u want to half ### unless u would like to die.

 

Isn’t it standard for a skateboarder to carry “dunnage” ? I haul various skateboards and never leave the yard without “dunnage”……

 

You’ve got racks and no dunnage-
So how are you currently utilizing them?

seems kind of fruitless?

 

I wouldn't haul the dunnage for 2.20 a mile
