Type of load versus trailer

Facts

 

Is a load of bricks in a van really any different than a load of frozen beef or cheese. Also solid and heavy. Or any other thing you could think of that is solid and heavy and hauled in vans everyday?

 

Dude, when I was in LTL, the company would get bobcat equipment, skid steer loaders and mini excavators both on tracks and rubber tires. They would put that s*** all the way to the nose, and if anything, put a little e-track strap on it. Same with forklifts. I will have to see if I still have the picture of one if you don't believe. Brick could be hauled in a dry van. Load it like they load regular pallets. Put a strap at the back of the load if you can. I am sure someone on this earth has done it. I haven't personally but can bet you a dollar to a bag of donuts someone has.

 

Is that what it was? I thought the driver of the volvo the cab split in two died also, but maybe not? When I passed the accident when they opened up the right lane yesterday a wrecker was putting the chassis of that volvo on to a flatbed. I did not see this post of yours before posting my previous post about someone has done it, hauling bricks in a van. But, to my point, there it is.

 

If it fits it ships.

 

I pulled dry van in LTL for years, you think they strap every pallet? HA! No way in h*ll do they do that.

 

I have hauled shrink wrapped pallets of bricks in dry vans plenty of times

they always used wood blocks nailed to the floor to secure them .

Do trailers floors still have the wood stops for securing cargo ?

we used to haul aluminum coils and they had tons of wood blocking , and the driver had to remove it all before they unloaded the coils .

usually two or maybe four pallets in front , I don’t remember , one in the middle and two or four at the back ,

best pulling heavy load ever .
Since all the weight is down low .

a trailer load of Cheerios cereal weighs the same but is loaded to the top and is much less stable .
