    Btw, for future reference to all skates, if you find yourself in this situation, and all you need is a forklift to fix your problem, (all he needed) find the number for the local courier company. Many of them have moffet trucks in there employ. Rent a hour of time, probably less than 150 bucks to rework that load.

    interesting. Round me couriers are bike messengers or best case somebody with a car that carries paperwork/packages under 10 lbs.
    I'd say "local building supply yard" be prepared to fork over least the same amount of $.

    It's happend to me a couple of times, but not to this extent. That's some fairly stout pipe on top, you can tighten down quite a bit without damaging it. I figured I overtightened the straps and combined with the weight stacked on top was too much. A bunch of round wedges to wiggle into and pry stuff apart. Weak dunnage that has a knot or layer of pitch is all it needs to make a bad day.

    Not that I've ever had to do this, but even bring coffee and donuts for the whole staff and some cash. Especially in Canada, you can grease a lot of wheels with some Tim's coffee and a bunch of donuts.
