[QUOTE="Apollo, post: 416465, member: 18252"] Not my hub, if we ask about the trailers, they get mad at us. The auditors never show up anyways... if they do, it's 1/2 hour later and the trailers are pretty much done. As for drop frames, we mostly only get them from Denver. They've been getting better at not putting irregs in the bottom. Though one day a few weeks ago we had a bunch of engine parts on miniature palets in the bottom. The lightest, out of 7, weighing 87 lbs. I was sweeping that night, so of course i have to do it on my own. As for the shifter. We only open swing/barn door trailers one door at a time, unload for about 5-10 feet, then the shifter comes back and opens the other door. The only time i've ever seen a box fall from those trailers when a shifter is opening the second door is in an Omaha Steak truck, and those boxes shift on there own. The ice makes them slide, the saran wrap makes them slide slowly. So when he opened the second door... about 10-15 walls shifted... took us about 2 hours to clean that mess up. That was a fun night. He wasn't hurt... but i think he twisted his ankle. Speaking of Omaha, anyone had a trailer pulled with them inside it? That's always fun... especially in Omaha. Since the floor is ice-coated metal.
