I'm loading counter tops mon in minnesota. I sure hope they load inside or its going to be a ccccold dddday.

 

loading monday @ port of new orleans going to topeka for thursday. think i may switch over to flats in spring

 

Pad every edge and corner. Those countertops hate nice looking tarps.

 

Well I'll find out. I have 3 12x10 felt, corner protectors, edge protectors, and 4 3x4 of carpet. I might get some more carpet cause I think I'll need it.

 

The load should be about 25' long if I remember correctly. There will be several inches in between each bundle of tops. Be sure to insulate that space. They're like razerblades. I would use tape on any corner that you can't otherwise protect.

 

If you load in Belle Plaine that will all be done outside. If you load in LeSueur and they aren't very busy you can load inside, secure and tarp. But be quick about it, because when another truck shows up they will kick you out. Every load that I pulled out of either of those two places was six a-frames, they are around 10' long each and loaded side by side. Will use about 31' of deck space, if they give you any small pallets of samples take them off the pallets and stick them inside the "A" or in between the frames, they are normally very light boxes and are a pain to tarp otherwise. If you are taking them to Indy or that place outside of St. Louis over in Illinois you can park at either place over night, I always did, and had my tarps removed and put away before I went to bed, just leave them strapped down in case you need to move.

 

To clarify I meant those measurements in feet not inches. still going to fun in those temps. And it is in belle plain. Oh crap.

 

hey we knew that, you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders, I kind of figured you weren't running around with 2"x4" pieces of carpet and 12"x10" pieces of felt.

 

Yeah but your truck drivers so I wanted to be clear. (Grin).

 

roflmao, good one
