    Let me guess.

    You were moving these axles in trailers with rollup doors, right?

    That would explain the damage to the bearing caps. The forklift idiots were probably banging the ends of these on the door jamb.

    Now in a swing door trailer, that issue would likely vanish.

    That's about the size of it. We don't have vehicle tracking. And, yeah, I have been caught by the oversize pick that blocks the rest of the days freight. Or the pick early in the day that you have to get, because you won't be back that way until the next day, Maybe. that you then have to trip over the rest of the day.

    When the only truck left on the ready line is a ratty old Sterling, and you find out it's turned up to 70...also priceless.
