Is this shippers sign legal?

You do get around.

I used to rub elbows (literally) with some of those guys years ago ... now that's my kind of cookin'.

 

Dodnt forget to add that they will allso be responsable for all weight tickets.

 

And how does he know the weight per pallet or per box.Some may tell you and some A.H. might not

 

Hey Shocky when you seen your self on ESPN were you PASSED OUT.

 

I bet they have to watch ol Shocky around the girls and the Beer coolers.

 

Yup, that is NOT legal, period. I would call the DOT as well if they refused to reload it. How can you tell them how to load IF you aren't allowed on the dock? I would save that picture and send it to the DOT to let them know actually. I am quite sure, if they have a sign like that up, they have a lot more squirrelly stuff they are doing that they don't want the DOT to know about! I would even tell them you are going to send that sign to the DOT and see what they say!

 

Actually, ..... I don't remember.
Coulda been though.
Or about to.

One of the many perks of driving a team transporter is being included in the winning festivities after the last race of the season. I attended one at the Harley Cafe in Lost Wages, Nevada.
One is all I needed in one life time.
What a RusH!

Harley didn't win the championship that year though.
We did.
And decided that the Harley Cafe would be a good place to party.
When we first walked in, folks just stopped and stared.
All we heard was the sounds of silence.

Security arrived quickly, and we were told that if we were lookin' for trouble we were lookin' in the wrong place.

One of our winning drivers agreed that it would be the wrong place to do that.
And assured security that we only looked for trouble out ON the track. But, so far, hadn't found any.

Once we all understood each other's positions, I think we had a LOT of fun.
'Cause I don't recall much after the 12th round of doubles.
Perhaps Vegas had a power failure, and went all dark.

I woke up on a pile of used Dunlop racin' tires.
I found them to be as comfortable as their competition.
And I wouldn't hesitate to sleep on Dunlops again.

It works the other way, too --- amigo.

Once the chicks know I'm in the building --- ANYthang can happen.
Obviously my (slightly) faded purple cape, and bright (but not hot) pink speedos are the ultimate chick magnet.
Other guy's hang around me just to catch the overflow of highly desirable groupies.
They're EVERYwhere!

BTW, did I ever write about the time I was assigned to a photo shoot gig, ----- wayyy down in Florida?
Man-0-Man ---- I sure complained about that one.

Imagine being stuck, for WEEKS, with the
Hawaiian Tropics Girls?
And personal watercraft available to ride when the shooting light waned. Which was often.

My assignment one day was to keep the watercraft gassed for the Girls.
RatS!
Now I'm gonna miss out on the action!

But WAIT!
When they run low on gas --- and they WILL ---
WHO will THEY be lookin' for?

YeAH!
That's what I figured, too.

HeY!
It's a rough job.
But SOMEbody has to do it.
Besides, I knew the job was dangerous when I took it.

Other times, the gigs were easier.
Remember the TV show
BAYWATCH?

Well, the yellow watercraft they used on that show were stored, when not needed, in our SoCal warehouse. It wasn't uncommon for us to load them in a box van, and deliver 'em right to the set while they're filmin'.

Pamela Anderson ----------------------------------
remember Pamela?
We saw her a lot.
But she never saw us.
NopE!
Looked right through us like we weren't even there.

One of our warehouse workers, along to help unload, couldn't hold his emotions back when Pamela was standin' about 5 feet away from him.

Hey, Pamela!
I'm your biggest fan.To which, Pamela delivered this heartfelt reply.

I don't know who you think you are, but I don't speak to stage hands, technicians, or extras.
They bore me.
I'm an actress.

After that, ..... all went quiet on the set.

IMO, Kid Rock can have her back.

And I heard rumor that the warehouse worker kid she blew off like he was a Big truck truck driver, accidentally spilled itching powder on her personal watercraft seat.

I sure wanted to watch that episode, but I was watching the road instead. Gettin' the hail away from Hollyweird as fast as I could.
TinselTown can drive a driver crazy.

 

Yea I rember her.Luved to have seen that powder working myself,instant Crabs

 

I tried to post it but the mods don't seem to be big on approving posts with links. Heaven forbid anyone share a useful spreadsheet!


Back on the thread, I had a shipper take 5 reworks to get a load legal. They started making noises about not reworking for axles less than 500 pounds over, then I mentioned dropping my trailer in their dock and letting them take all day to get it right if they liked, and they reworked it again.

 

Hi all, new to this site It is a good 1.

As far as the topic. My experience is this. If the driver tells the loader to load their load certain way and it turns out to be the wrong way, than they may give u static(they will rework it, but it may cost u some $ or u spend extra time at the dock). If on the other hand they do it their way and it's wrong, than they don't have a leg to stand on. Usually they r pretty good about it. It is the butt heads that will have problems with it.
