Found one but it’s in Houston and the owner wants to install it so I’d have to get a tow from Florida to Texas. But it’s possible. Waiting for him to get back to me. It’s just already a shitty situation and now I don’t trust anyone when it comes to fixing up my van

Happy new year to you and Bubba Joe🎉 You weren’t the only one that had a rough week. I definitely stood in Miami way longer than what I needed to this week! I’m Actually on a load right now headed out. By the way I like the new updates to the video’s how you’re breaking down the cost. I would have bidded max $700for that mileage and 1,000 lbs+ meaning I’m leaving money on the table. Thank you!🙏🏽

Sounds like a good vlog! But yes it’s slow right. Especially here in Florida. Been trying to get out all week.
That first one in looks like a euro pallet. Measured in millimeters. In europe (my understanding...) is that you place one in long way with to turned like the first one loaded in and that "fills" the width of a trailer in europe.

@@ExpeditingAmerica The "teller" is typically those "blocks" on the corners. They don't stand up too well to being pushed around by a forklift like the standard 40x48's do. You know, the pallets with the "curved" slots on one side? If you have space issues with those, try loading them in sideways with the curved slots facing the front/rear of your van. It'll save 8" per pallet.

@@ExpeditingAmerica google "40x48 4 way pallet". On the 48" side, there are smaller openings with curves on the top corners for forklift blades while on the 40" side there are much larger openings. Some lift operators don't care to try lifting on the 48 side but if you've got a length issue, loading these sideways could be a cure. Hopefully when you see a valid image it will all come together. Pallets are like cars - there are a LOT of different "models'....Just sharing this from previous experience in LTL and seeing wide varieties daily...
