    African, or European pallets?*

    Here is how this fiasco went. Initially BOL said: 310ea-Bright stock pallets AND 11ea Dividers. Alledgedly totalling 22075 lbs. I grossed 85880. After the FIRST reworking of the load the BOL said: 340ea-pallets and 8 Dividers. Alledgedly totalling 35000 lbs. I grossed 80400. Back to the shipper. After the second reworking of the load the BOL said: 315ea-pallets and 8 Dividers. Alledgedly totalling 35000 lbs. I grossed 78620. Two thingsI now know: 1) Dividers (whatever that is) must be heavy and 2) these folks operate on pure Guesswork.
