Just found your channel Jack and subscribed..I was an O/O back in the 80's pulling flatbed for a local company,then worked for a spell for one of those "Big" companies. Now after thirty-two years on the road I have retired from it. Worked as a yard jockey for a spell to keep me in shape as far as driving went. I'm happy to hear "Dave" is doing as good as can be expected. It's a shame about his truck and wagon,but they can be fixed or replaced,human life cannot. I hope the dump driver is ok also. You da man for helping another driver out,that doesn't happen much these days. Keep up the good work,keep the shinny side down and the rubber on the road. God bless and keep you safe!

It's nice to know the truck driver is OK. Two days ago, my son in law (independent owner operator) parked his truck at a Pilot truck stop. We went and picked him up for dinner, laundry, shower, nap. No nap while here someone backed into his truck. Nuts!! Really careless, could not see a white truck with an RGN trailer attached (empty). A/C compressor shot, grill shot, bumper shot AND crankshaft broken (we think). Now the thing I like about the trucking community. He called a friend who met him in WV and drove the load to SC, will come back, load the poor beast on the RGN and carry it to TN. No cost but fuel. My daughter is teaching his family how to dispatch their trucks - no charge. Just a giving, caring community. The family is too busy cutting hay for their mechanic to keep up so my son in law will do some of that work for them while his truck is repaired. This is the real America! The "new land" my ancestors settled in in 1643! God bless you fellows (and ladies) that haul all our stuff!

I used to work for a company that had injection molding machines. The pellets are just in a bag and then placed in a card board box for shipping. They are not sealed just the bag twisted at the top. They are not even tied because they dont want any debris falling inside the bag when a worker opens the bag. Any material inside the pellets will cause a multi million dollar machine to not work. With that said, we would refuse a shipment if the cardboard box was open or damaged. I know that sounds crazy but the boss would not risk damaging the machines for a few hundred dollars worth of pellets. Hope that cleared it up for you.

I set up and ran a 2 color injection molding machine back in the '90s. The base plastic was polypropylene and the 2nd color was a thermoplastic elastomer like the boxes held. We used suction hoses to pull the material into a hopper on the molding machine. We had to be careful when setting up new boxes of material, because even a small piece of cardboard or dirt could get stuck in one of the precision nozzles on the mold machine and cause that nozzle to stop up. Easily several hours of downtime lost because of carelessness. I understand. It's not worth the risk.

I once spent three days with a load I had to recover from a WalMart. The load had shifted to one side of the trailer. Actually it was leaning and had shifted. Considering from where it came from there were only three places where it could been shifted and two were just before you got to WalMart. It costs the company $350 to get unloaded, restacked and reloaded. I just hoped they took it out of the driver's pay who dropped it.

one time i picked up 3 2500 lb totes of sugar, going to Calif. from Idaho. got to the El Cahon scales and was 3000 lbs over on the trailer. and it was at the correct bridge law, and i couldn't change it. had to wait till the following afternoon, @hr. before the scales closed. we had to do the same thing with 1 tote, Indiana Jack has to do with 2. i got scaled out, and was legal, but late for delivery, but they still took me. the other driver backed his trailer up to mine, and we used a pallet-jack to move the tote, across a steel plate between trailers, didn't have a forklift. that was one heavy tote for just 2 people to move.

Once plastic pellets are spilled or broken open-they usually refuse the whole load. They are chemically treated so there are specific laws on how to dispose of them. They are 1500 dollars a box. Seem to be easy freight to haul-but are actually one of the worst because of the inferior packaging design. The boxes cannot stand force and crush easily, slide during hard brake, and weight about 2000 lbs each. I refuse to haul them anymore. As far as the transfer-this is quite common. I have even went and picked up loads from competitor trucking companies so as to get the freight delivered.
