Curtainside in Texas

qualifying question, where did you get the curtain from? and, when are you due home? Cause if you've got time, and you didn't pick it up nearby, they're not going to want to drop an empty curtain, they'll have you keep it. can't help about freight, through. haven't been to texas in 3 years, and when I was in Laredo, they deadheaded me 600 miles into Louisiana. But, from what I hear, we've picked up a bit, sales-wise in TX.

 

I've loaded shingles, James Hardie siding, and some kind of aluminum stuff from Alcoa in a curtainside out of TX. I've also loaded some funky kinds of lumber and plywood pfrom the port in Houston. The key to loading curtains is to not use the blinker as a center point. Go about two feet towards the front of trailer and use that as a center point. If you are splitting the load up for shingles or rocks put the front of the front pallet over the center of the rear drive tire and work back. In the back of the trailer put the edge of the last pallet between the tandems and go forward. Watch the forklift drivers they like to load heavy in the rear like a normal spread axle flat bed.

 

Brought a load of Steel roll up garage doors (industrial type) from Phoenix to Houston for delivery Monday morning. Sitting at the cons since about 3pm today. Tomorrow will tell what kind of load out of Houston. You know what... it's to stinking hot here!!
