    You're talking about the upper section of a single drop, right?

    Let me ask you this. If it were on the lower section, how would you get it off?

    Seems to me he has ramps, issue being if you load a non vehicle load on the bottom deck: how do you get the vehicle off the top deck past the load on the bottom..
     
    Hurst and blacklabel Thank this.

    Hopefully next time this situation comes up you'll be able to load the small wheeled partial onto the back of the rear deck!

    I enjoyed running around doing LTL: figuring out what to load where, how to put different items together to maximize space, how to secure all kinds of different stuff, how to most effectively run and how to constantly hawk what else comes up to call on and get.

    Fun challenges.

    It's definitely a challenge, maybe that's why I keep doing it

    I love showing up and the customer asking how I can fit anything else. I tell em just watch. Then when Im loaded I tell em I still got another pick to make.
