    Why aren't they using wreckers to load the saddles? That's the way if no one can load or unload. What were they wanting money for?

    I have done several saddle loads. Never had trouble. If you pick up more than the bills call for, you call in, if you pick up less call in. When you pick up anyofthem call in, your supposed to anyway for the serial numbers, I also call ahead to each pickup to verify if they load or a wrecker is needed. If you take no chances and assume nothing g, it goes easier with those.

    Oh I had called ahead and with serial #s as soon as I arrived. But after being fully loaded, tied down and there driver going home I got a call saying take one off. Hard to do lol. Then they wanted me to pick one up elsewhere. Called ahead, met the wrecker at HIS salvage yard. He wanted me to pay him. Not happening so had to wait till morning. It was all just a pain.

    It must be a load I naturally avoid. What is it?
