    Purina in Flagstaff or Denver? Those are some heavy loads.

    They paid great. The company I worked for got 1500$ a load on 300mi. That's all we did, pretty much like running empty all the time

    Yep, I hauled apple juice from the ports in Delaware to Florida I think it was. Came in on a ship from South America. Huge plastic totes lined down the center of the trailer. If I remember correctly, they only loaded 12 of them because of the weight.

    I've done the BMC loads. You never know about them.

    The company I used to work for had a contract with a small company in Cleveland,OH. Every Friday afternoon,they would have a truck to run down to Florida for Monday morning. They paid by the truck.

    I backed in and started to settle down,waiting for the loading to start. I could feel someone walking up to the front of the trailer. I assumed they were checking the roof,looking for leaks. Five minutes later the guy was at my door with the bills. The load was one Xerox box of office paperwork.

    Nope. A couple bottles of wine would have been nice.

    Most Nestle brand loads are always heavy

    There is a Alpo dog food plant not far from Allentown just to the north and west of there for your pleasure, something like 5 to a layer 12 layers to a pallet. Double stacked. 48 pallets.

    by the time you get through restacking onto small wood you are around between 95 to 106 pallets.

    If I ever see another red Alpo dog bag...
