Maximizing Space

drivers don't usually own the product, so no money is saved for them.

it may also cost them money by increasing the unload time if a live load/unload.

 

Why are you loading pallets if you need that much room?

I need some return air room though with my new flat floor so I need atleast 30 pallets on the ground to get it

 

paid by the 100 or the board you will make more, usually much over 36ish is when it starts getting complicated though, but I doubt you are going to get enough volume in these things to justify carrying them around,

and unless they are all chep, you’ll get more room by doing it all sideways any way

 

Looks like it would be handy for a drug mule.

 

The op doesn't realize what the real world is like.

The labor costs to put in an additional 20 cu ft of space that doesn't provide a space for more than 4 inches of room outweigh the additional space gain.

On top of this, what happens when you have a damaged pallet, which is common. The forks can get through that but a plastic container slide under the pallet won't.

The idea of an O/O is going to make more money, it isn't. We get paid for that truck and it doesn't matter if they put another 20 cu ft worth of product on the truck, it won't make any more money.

 

I'm assuming he is talking about the trailers that don't have pallets.

 

Before the average box truck runs out of space, weight will be an issue. The only loads that I have ever seen stacked floor to ceiling in a box are the can/bottle loads shipped to beverage manufacturers.
