another perk lost due to "competition" the 15-25% team surcharge...thus again reducing the income..BIG carriers really sold us down the river...
The load we are taking 2000 miles direct to Laredo, the shipper checked the truck to make sure we were a team.

Shipper loaded freight into a van... problem is they don't know why the van was here or who it was as I was only scheduled pickup today... small shop seems like they would know what's up ... now trying to track down freight based on illegible hand writing and fuzzy security cams deciphering the logo

Well this was disappointing. For years I wanted to get some IKEA Trones (storage containers) for my Sprinter.

Finally got some shipped to my house.
Already to install, and I could not find a single safe place to put them.

Everywhere I lined them up looked like a disaster waiting to happen by a high low driver and some off track or too high coming in skids.

Then I remembered all the times I've had to squeeze between the walls and freight to apply straps. Now with the Trones taking up more space, not looking good. I also never factored in the curve of the Sprinter top section that just puts them a little too close for comfort with the freight.

It just looked like it was going to be more trouble then they were worth.

Now to try and return them
