Oh the pain...

Just finished assembling a new shelf unit for the van. Got it all set up, then realized a major problem. I just filled up the space I need to move my bed to when I only have 1 skid, so I would now have to lose my bed :eek:

Taking it apart and returning it would be a PIA, so looks like I got a new shelf unit for the house. I'm not losing my bed with only 1 skid on board :rolleyes:

Did those shelves come with the bow ?because you know our walls are shaped like a football

The deal is we went from 7 of 7 last night to 1 of 1 when I checked about 1030 this morning. We have been offered legit teem loads when we were deep into the line up before.

The worse of it is IT didn't squat so bad! I didn't even know till I got to the receiver and they where flabbergasted that it was in my van only then did it get weighed 5837...1 skid set dead center it really didn't look abnormal! I was such a weight lunatic with my old sprinter . 2nd load and I get a ringer....wanting the $$$ made me sloppy NO MORE!

This has been on my mind for awhile, need to do some research...it seems to be getting more important to have some idea of what's going on
