Dispatch called the shipper to confirm the pallets were 48x40, 4-ways that could be turned. It all worked out rather nice.

a dispatcher can only tell us what the customer tells them....and you figure most times you are 3 times removed from said customer....use your imagination....how many shippers will go out and measure?... Most will tell simply say 48x48 because its the easy way without getting out of the office...LOL how do I know? Because in another life ..that was me.....

Left home yesterday to Lima,OH. Got a call this morning going to Denver, didn't really want it so put in a pretty hefty bid. Guess I was the customers last chance, so now I'm going to Denver.

Still in Spartanburg. Filling up with expediters. I guess everyone that was down by the coast has driven up here. Rates are sub-cheap with high supply. Be lucky to move for .50¢
