    my favorite from residential's is " A good driver, could get it done."
    MY stock reply is that a good driver knows better.

    From a shipper in a lumber mill...."I don't care that it's been sitting out in the rain for a week and it'll probably sit out in the rain where you're going...TARP IT."

    I like delivering to Laredo/Eagle Pass/Del Rio TX and they take pictures of your tarped trailer to make sure you did it. Then dump the freight on the dirt where it gets wet and rusted for a month.
