Need Help!

It's only 2 pallets? Have you tried tarping it and maybe belly wrapping it? Are you strapping it tight enough? I've never seen issues with hay falling off.

 

Pics? Why is it falling off? Too loose inside the bags? Loosely stacked?

Tarp it tight all I can suggest without seeing it for an alternative

 

I often haul square bales of hay myself, but I've never really had a problem. I would strap and tarp the hell out of it. At least keep the hay under the tarp, if it falls off at your consignee, blame it on the forklift operator!! lol

 

Lots of shrink wrap, or banding plastic or metal, ratchet strap wraps around as banding... lots of options. Hell 40 bucks in duck tape. Gotta get creative to get the load off

 

Tarp it. Sounds like the only real solution. Is it inside the rails at least? Could you get some 2x4 8's stick em thru the rub rail n lever the stuff back on, punch a couple nails top n bottom of the rail to hold product in place and tarp over?

sucks to spend the extra money and time. Sometimes you get farked. Know it for next time

 

How did he get it out of the van?

From what your describing, I would turned it down at the farm, made my apologies to the farmer and just canceled the load.

Have them send another van, and just shuv everything in from the back. I've done a few hay loads and the farmer always shuved the load forward in order to load more hay at the back of my trailer. Pallets complicate things, but time is money and in this business if your stuck at a location, your not making money. I have no patience when it comes to loads that I have to struggle to keep from falling off. I mean from what your describing, its not a safe load to put on a flat bed. Personally I'd leave it alone.

Every hay load I've ever done was stacked on the deck, or jammed in a box....as the guy doing the hand loading I never stacked it so it could shift.

money is to be made doing things that others don't, won't or can't. That being said, with broker loads some times they don't believe theirs any reason to pay more. That's a good time to cancel.
