We had the worst luck trying to get a load yesterday! First load offer was to Michigan and after we accepted the load and received the notes we found out we carry to much freight moving equipment and they would not load us. So we lost that load. Next load came in needing 22 foot of floor space for 12 skids and 8500lbs. We accepted that load then had to call in and ask if two skids could be stacked as we would not have room for our pallet jack. Customer said nope cannot be stacked so we have to take you off the load. We call in and say can this load be decked as we have the ability to create a deck in our truck and set skids up there as long as they are not to tall. The load can be decked so we move most of our equipment to get to our plywood so when we get to the customer we are prepared to load the freight. We get to the shipper and they have nine skids as they have all ready stacked and shrink wrapped the freight and the best part the load only ways about 4500lbs! Talk about awesome and so much easier to load. Glad we were prepared with the plywood out but even more pleased we did not need to use it! Now if we could just get unloaded this morning....
