    I doubt that from either one of ya'll........I get the feeling that you're both like me and if you agree to do something, you'll do it.

    say it ain't so.......

    I'm a man of my word. But my word will never be...... I'll unload that 53' trailer by hand.

    yeah, well, I kinda got that and I'm kind of the same........but we've all had to suck it up a time or two when we jumped into a game where we didn't entirely understand the rules. Its's called being a man, (in the gender definition, not the honor definition......)

    I would say there were probably people gaming the system, and getting their ICA's to keep a load from hitting the load board to get them home.... and if that's true, GOOD! I play hell getting home some times, if you're an IC then you should INDEPENDENTLY find yourself a load home. (unless a family emergency ,etc...)

    One time I watched 3 men unload my trailer by hand and it took them 3 hours. I asked them why they didn't palletize the load and he said the pallets take up space they need for the product. I wondered if the extra space was worth the extra labor.
