    never believe the old ,"it's too heavy to move", line.

    I've had 10K :LB machines move around on a long trip. they get boucing a little bit and will move!!

    especially in an air ride trailer on a rough road. hit the brakes when that's happening and the load will move. ALOT !!

    I hauled machines up to Canada and back for 15 yrs.

    Rubber belting or rubber mats work well to reduce pallet movement.

    Uh-uh. They are hard to get sliding, but they sure can.

    I used to haul glass from Eldredge, IA to Pueblo, CO. Regular route, taking finished product out, bringing glass back. Always had to have blocks nailed down. That old trailer floor was sad indeed. Only worked that job for a few months, when the regular driver was off with an injury. Wasn't at all sorry to be done with it.
