    Well.... not happy about this load.... Picked it up from the Houston drop yard... Whoever dropped this load "wasn't smart" (nice version) for leaving larado with it. Five industrial air conditioners. The front three are fine... the back is double stacked... Not a good idea to me, only two straps are supposed to he put on these things, at the corners. The bottom one is chained, top just has a couple straps, it will have two more added tommorow just to make me feel better. I had to get someone with a fork lift to come adjust the load because it was so far off center. Actually Hung over the edge. I told my FM I wasn't hauling it lime that because its unsafe. I got it centered so we shall see how it rides...
    Not getting hometime this week, just a pass through. This load goes to new York then Massachusetts.

    Ah... why don't you take that over to a thread on some other carrier? Because you are posting a 45,000-pound load of bovine excrement, and are definitely not posting anything with any truth in it about this carrier.
