    I don't know anything about Anderson but I have several years doing pad wrap and 2yrs in crane. It's not bump the dock and hit the sleeper. It is very labor orientated and you are the labor. Some will be pre-loads but you still get to fold pads and secure all the decking at the end. In crane, the product is usually very high $$ and you have to secure it properly in the trailer. I'm not saying this to scare you off. I enjoyed my time doing it and the exercise I got was very good for me. I would probably still be doing it if the company I was working for hadn't sold out. I just wanted you to see the physical part of doing pad wrap and/or crane. You will do a lot of work in the trailer. Best to you and your friend.

    Kemosabi, I know the work, I was With North American Van Lines on their crane fleet for 7 years. I have folded 250 pads, and decked and redecked trailers, after a job site delivery it looked like a bomb went off in the trailer lol, my friend knows the in's and out's of it, he was just wondering about Anderson in particular.
