    And ya I understand being a company driver what you carry will be different from someone like me, I own my truck and trailer so I have extra storage boxes on my trailer to carry all my stuff, I know that's not practical for lots of company guys.

    I was giving you a hard time. I don’t have any v boards because I don’t haul that type of freight generally. I now have a headache cabinet 18x74x60 that’s full of equipment. Both side boxes are also full so nowhere to store them even if I did use them.
     
    IluvCATS, stwik and JonJon78 Thank this.

    I had a moment...

    I thought that first picture you had that yellow strap holding a dominoes pizza box on top of the pallet as a v board...

    ..... o_O:p

    Tomorrow, the key is distraction. Maybe tell a few jokes, stand in front of the damaged parts, pretend to point and ask if that’s someone famous walking by. Most importantly, dress really nice, they will be staring at your outfit and may miss it altogether.

    Not sure why you’re worried about their social media policy, you’re getting fired anyway.

    How did it work out when you delivered it? Is van freight in your near future?

    would be cheaper at 6.00 too. Delivered.

    *Bangs head. Really great idea here. Typical of my life, I never get to think on these wonderful ideas.

    I pointed it out immediately. Forklift guy said it most likely can be straightened out and that they can do it. The BOL got signed and no notations on it.. I’m feeling pretty good about it. I THINK it’s over!
