Well after a crappy week, we are set up in a pretty little camping spot in a small LA Parish. $13 a day with water and electricity. Thats less than it costs to run the generator 24 hours!! And a lot less than idling!! Our space overlooks a beautiful little lake, fully stocked with small gators!! And lots of ducks flying in at night and out in the morning! I guess if we have to get stuck, this is a decent place to do it!!
Maybe they will get us the elusive Saturday run!!! LOL!!!
Hope everyone else is well, and busy!!!!!!

Why didn't you ask them to remove the pallet?
Yesterday I went for a p/u and surprise, surprise! They didn't have a ramp for CV... I took it piece by piece, just to make sure I do that run...

They we're not cooperative at all!! I tried to get them to let me take it off the pallet but they said as is or nothing! And it was one giant piece so no loading by hand. I definitely would have done anything not to lose the load. But the shipper wouldn't let me!

Should be in a straight truck! :D just having some fun with you. But really hate to hear this, but sounds like you did all you could do to save the load.
