    Hah. That was one of two pallets on the dock. It was the better of the two we have. The only ones we get are ones that come from customers who don't want to keep them.

    It would be nice to have a pallet trailer.

    Here was option 2.

    I can't believe that the manufacturer will ship them like that.

    That's a small bucket but I'm curious ; how heavy of freight do you guys accept? Even that (if they had decent wood under it) wouldn't be much fun with a pallet jack.

    That's about 2300 lbs..I've has 5000.lb skids before, as long as it fits on a 28 foot pup to get to the next terminal and can scale it's pretty much ok.

    I was once told 3000 lb was the limit since that’s what the forklifts on the dock are rated for, but dispatchers don’t typically have the gonads to say no.

    I’ve delivered chemical totes that were north of 4000 lbs before. I could move them with a pallet jack but the forklifts wouldn’t lift them.

    Years ago I wired up the garage in the ex’s house myself, with including two 220v circuits for a welder and air compressor.

    Electricity made more sense to me when I started to look at it in terms of supply and return. Black or blue supply wire out of the breaker, and the white return wire back to the neutral bar in the panel.

    The actual theory behind all this I was never taught, but over 20 years later everything still works and it hasn’t burned down yet.
