    I'd say he'd be arrested for being a public nuisance.

    Might save him from committing vehicular homicide in the near future if we deal with him now

    5th load ever doing flatbed. 1st post on here ever. Got tired of dry van so literally bought all the equipment and rented a trailer, jumping in with 2 feet. This load was supposed to be flat aluminum sheets... Ha!

    Had another huge, should need a permit but I ran it "outlaw" anyway loads today.

    To add insult to injury I had to offload it by hand. Six inch n12 pipe so heavy it can't be just be shoved off the trailer. I was cursing the lack of qualified crane operators. Never mind the straps that were holding down the pallet of heavy PVC fittings. Super lucky I didn't have to go through any coops today! Dodged a bullet. (Do I get points for it being 95 degrees out? Maybe? Bueller?)

    I'm guessing you have never experienced the joy of rolling 3.5" drill pipe from the pipe racks onto your trailer at a drill site?;)
     
    Oxbow, cke, PPLC and 3 others Thank this.

    Do what? Tell 'em that if you wanted to hand unload you'd be foodservice or LTL P&D. If they give you any crap, bust a sharp U-turn in their driveway and let it go where it will.

    Seriously, is there any part of this industry where customers don't expect you to do their job for them??
