    At the TA in Monroe, MI.

    6:30 am “sharp” appointment time, going the wrong way on a one way street in Birmingham, MI. 54 miles away.

    I’m not exactly sure why they need a crane for this stuff but I’m sure they are smarter than me? 81C0E04B-9FA8-4CF4-B128-2D7D785FBB6B.jpeg

    That’s what they look like to me?

    Pallets are 2’ by 4’. Not exactly sure how they are going to crane them off anyway? I think they will have to unload them with a forklift first?

    I’ll know tomarow morning I guess?

    Based on the conversation with the “ Forman “ on the phone earlier I have my doughts.

    Never seen one you can move the forks together to fit under a 24” pallet?

    Pallets are flimsy too so even IF they could get a sling under or through the pallet it will just bust to hell? Pallets are all tight to each other and no side holes on the 4’ side.

    Rented crane and he didn’t even know how many pallets were coming?

    I don’t have high expectations .................witch is normal anymore.

    Every day is an adventure in load board flat bedding.

    Back when I was operating in Denver we used to lift pavers like that all the time for roofing contractors. Run a sling through both pallets and choke it. It'll probably crush the pallet but it works.
