If all scales out I send a message stating p/u trl#1234 Sealed upon arrival seal # 1234, axel set at CA, Tanden wgt, drv wgt str wgt gross wgt. to the person I answer too, sometimes its a dvrmgr, or a dispatcher, I also included loaded and sealed by the shipper on the BOL.6
This does not total protect you by at least it gives you something, if the load is damaged, not your problem....Not secured properly not your problem,Skatebaords are a totally different thing altogether. -

Since when do we complain about our jobs?

Here’s the thing OP. In hauling something delicate as fork lifts in a van, it would be in your best interest to be out there, asking questions, asking for ideas/help, and ultimately finding a way to brace, block & imobilize those lifts...
Here’s a quick story. While driving out of Lexington, KY on the bluegrass, the opposite side had a large back up. What was the delay? Driver had a forklift through the nose of his trailer, dangling against the truck cab Over the catwalk.x1Heavy, JoeyJunk, buddyd157 and 1 other person Thank this. -

I try and answer all questions, no matter how simple the answer may be, and I'll give the driver the benefit of never hauling forklifts, but securing a load has always been the drivers duty. Once the freight hits your trailer, it's your baby.
