Ya total load weight is 39,000 pounds, but main issue is i dont really have the space to have 23 pallets laying around. I mean i suppose we could if we ultimately had to but I think grabbing in them in smaller loads is the best way for me to do it right now. Still waiting for a response from the company on if they will pick the shells up...so im on standby right now.They have drop off locations at different storage units around town, but the one lady said she could only take about 20 at a time every 2 weeks. So if the other places will do the same I can get rid of them like that, but that might cost a lot of gas and time.
