    I was afraid of that. I just did that exact run but for some reason all the empty trailers were gone. The pallet place in KY is down the road from where I delivered the ingot from close to home. So I have feeling I will be running a lot of pallets. The little ts in Morton, IL is not bad place plenty of food places close by and a walmart plus the people seem nice and the facilities are clean.

    I got decent follow up load, foam walls. They loaded and spread my tarps out for me. Even had special corner protectors for the straps. However, this is another tall full trailer length can't tighten the straps to tight load. Short miles too, made to the 01 and back to the 90 in 8 hrs.

    See how things go in the am when there are 9 other trucks lined up to unload. I was the third in and out of the 01 left with 3 other Prime flatbedders waiting to get loaded. Place was crowded.
