    They must be light pallets. Any 48"x40" standard sized board over 500 lbs or so usually stays put unless you had to dynamite the brakes or something.

    Don't count on those! Learned that the hard way! Wait until a little old lady in a Grand Marquis pulls out of a bank exit in front of you and then slams on her brakes for a yellow light. When you have to stop in a hurry, those rubber pads turn into a magic carpet. Easy way to have a bunch of staggered paper rolls suddenly become a nose load!

    I doubt if they are light if he has to space them out to get legal.

    Used to haul welding rods in a reefer. We used a couple rows of pallets on the floor to space back, half the rods, more pallets, half the rods. Rode nice, never moved, not a nail in sight!
