My dispatch said that racks are recommended but not required. I used them. The reasons that people haul slinkies out of Pueblo is because they don’t want to deadhead their drivers out. Last time I delivered in Denver they deadheaded me to Lawton, Oklahoma for a load of paper rolls. That was like 647 miles deadhead. They had a load of slinkies going to Washington, DC and I told them give me the paper load. Not trying to go to DC if I can help it. I value my time a bit more than that lol.

I see a lot of flatbed loads out of Scott's Fertilizer in Fountain Colorado too (about 30 minutes north of Pueblo). Not sure what they pay though.
RedRover Thanks this. -
System likes to yank the Hutchinson-Western farm gates outta Commerce City. I did a drop and hook there and there yard was littered with System trailers.
Heard it’s a very cheap paying load — it’s up there on weight too.mitmaks Thanks this. -
I did not enjoy taking a load from them.

I hauled a load of baling twine from the Hutchison place in eastern Iowa to the one in Adams City. If I remember correctly, it was 48 pallets total: 12 x 2 front to back, plus another layer just the same on top. They were nice, though: they gave me a ride on the forklift all the way around so I could put corners under my straps, then they lifted me up with my tarps. They even gave me a ride down once I got the tarps rolled out.ChaoSS Thanks this.
