    I remember hauling Big coils from the drop yard in S. Chicago. Take them to the L.A. port from the drop yard. Waiting in line to get a load at Redlands. We drove trucks back then.

    Only on a short haul crane truck. I wouldn't want that liability. Then again, maybe it's Chinese drywall and he didn't want to corrode his tarps. My wife put together a bid for pulling that Chinese drywall out of the Port of Tampa back in 2006. She spent a week on that sucker going back and forth and we lost it by $25 a load. It was 20+ loads a day and she was pretty upset. She was pretty relieved we weren't any part of it when all the corrosion issues came out.

    Too much risk to get hurt. Even I hired movers when I moved into the house I'm in now, and I owned a 48 and 53 dry van at the time. $500 bucks for local movers, or 2 weeks out of work nursing a back. Hmmm. I actually read the paper, sitting on a chair while they loaded everything. It was fantastic. Stroke a check out of that big cluck cluck bank account for a house warming present to cover half the movers. Your in laws will love you and your legend will grow even larger than life than it is already.
