Well here is how this pick up went.
I went to pick up at my carriers dock. 4 small pallets. BOL stated, 3100lb....
After loading 2 pallets, I can tell my vehicle was sitting low. I asked if they he was sure that this is 3100lb because if I was to take this load first thing im doing is headed for a scale to weigh myself.
At my request they weighed each pallet on a scale in front of me. 4850lb total.
I laughed and left.
Waste of my time...I think it's time for a new carrier. Money has been good but this is unacceptable for me. Not to mention I still haven't gotten paid for the rear clearance lights they damaged with a their forklift while loading up a skid that weighed 100lb.....

one time a little speck of dirt on someones screen turned a van load into a flatbed tractor load.....2,000 lb at 33" turned into 2,000 lbs at 33' it happens....
This is a great time for me. I get to play my own version of The Price Is Right. It's sorta like being Bob Barker. Great fun and profitable too! Although I don't get to fondle the models boobins.
Unfortunately I have a doctors appointment Friday so I will probably take anything going towards home.
Don't forget to have your pet spayed or neutered.

Patience grasshopper. Patience.
Enjoying the 100% off time but looking forward to "flipping the switch" back on, although it looks like we're not missing much this week anyway. Been about 12 years since I took off and didn't have employees calling or loads to watch. Nice!
!!!
We also set our "July shut-down" dates yesterday. Woohoo!!
I think it's 7/4/15-7/12/15.
