how to ship gaylords with no scale or fork lift

this came up in another thread so I thought I would tell you how I do it. I'm sure there are probably better ways out there but .

load a pallet in the truck, lay the gaylord on the pallet. remove every thing else that you wont be hauling to the freight offfice.

go to thew scrap yard or a truck stop with a CAT scale and weigh the truck, they will usely charge about $4 and give you a free-be within 24 hrs.

arrange to ship with a freight co that has access to a fork lift and a ramp so they can access the pallet from ground level.



load the gaylord while it is set up on the pallet in the truck a full size pick -up will haul 2 gaylords.
