    I think he means UPS Freight, which would make an interesting conglomeration. It would also be interesting to see what the FTC would have to say about that. Lol.

    Yeah, sorry. Meant UPS freight. Saw an article on it in a Logistics magazine. Plus the endless churns in the rumor mill.

    Is that a legitimate combination you are allowed to take on the actual ROAD? I know like in Saskatchewan and stuff they have B-Trains that are like that, but holy Toledo. How many stops is that? I mean that's sure a lot of freight. Where does it all go it looks like there's nobody around?

    No way a legal set. LOL!

    I tripled in and my dispatcher told me to rocky double with the lead box of the train I brought in (and leave the middle and rear box behind but hooked).

    I grabbed the 48 with con and just hooked by rear box while it was still hooked to the train.

    I've never been that busy before oh god not as many trailers as you do LOL! Ive done a truck load and then a van load, but never 3 pups and a 48' trailer load oh heavens no! The most I ever did weight wise was 1 stop 30,000lbs, but it was for one of our companies stores and it was a 50ft trailer loaded all the way front to back, but it was all on pallets just roll it all off maybe took me an hour or so. I did have this stupid heavy pallet of oil on the back though that I couldn't get the pallet jack under it was crazy annoying. I will say this as North American's we consume a lot of fryer oil.
