School me on hauling bricks

What cat sdp said and since the shipper is close to home there's no reason to not be working direct for them. Not much meat on the bone with brick loads anyways.

 

I haul bricks before. I had ten total pallets, each pallet was plastic wrap from top to bottom also use edge protectors on each pallet. Total miles hauling was 425mi no problems at all but was a little nervous on 1st run.

 

i've hauled bricks in dry van. specialty bricks though. heated and dryed in a kiln to get a glaze on them. all shrink wrapped and each brick individully numbered.

only time though. it was for a mcmansion project or so.

Brick guards is what they call them. I have seen various home made versions as well. In my experience, anything made of stone does not pay all that well, but everyone's situation is different, I've been hauling lumber for 40+ years.

FWIW I like the products from this site, I've bought a bunch of their regular veeboards.

 

pricless now all you need is a mason......

 

I do bricks almost every day. Keeping them secure is easy. The plastic or metal bands work great because the weight of the bricks does a great job of keeping them from flying all over, the bands just keep the stacks straight. But for loose bricks, I wrap them in plastic (go around enough times so it's nice and thick) and the plastic will hold that together, just like any other pallet of stuff. But something like VEE boards, or anything sturdy that can protect the strap is extremely important. I've even seen people use rolls of denim. You don't realize how sharp the edge of those bricks are with that kind of tension on them.
