Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Which plant was this at?

If the driver would have talked to Mascot, they would have told him that there are small markings on the inside of the glass frames on the deck showing where to place jumbos, and the smaller glass is just centered over the front and back 3 feet (there are 6 feet on a Wylie DD). I did my 1st Wylie trailer live load a few weeks ago, and it didn't take much to figure out.

 

One positive thing the beer flu has caused...Love's is doing an improved job cleaning their shower rooms and restroom facilities.

 

The way they recommend is nose heavy on the drivers side, tail heavy on the passenger side. I live loaded 11 at Decatur. 7 were 108-144 1/4", and the rest were 96-130 5mm. I stopped them from nose loading me heavy on both sides and I was close to balanced on my axles. Another, more experienced Moore driver, loaded just before me with the same load, but let them load it how they thought they should and was heavy enough he couldn't fuel all the way full without being over on the drives...but he was also driving one of those heavy arse Anthems.

 

In my 1st 20 months here, I live loaded 2 times. Tomorrow, I live load in Decatur for the 2nd time this week, and the 4th time in 3 weeks. Although, for March, with the economy going in the tank from the beer flu, I have been surprisingly busy. We did, however, get a disturbing message from Wylie HQ AND from the CEO at Daseke saying "we will weather the storm" and "we have resources that will allow us to survive the challenging times ahead". The reason it is disturbing is, this whole Corona virus is just getting started over here on this side of the pond, and they already feel the need to reassure us...I'm not looking forward to the next 6 months in this industry.

 

Mostly just 45' vans with holes in the floor for chain blank pullouts to tie down rolling rack loads.
