[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 90729, member: 1912"] One other point to add perspective to this subject. Driver estimates total wieght of bags at 1200 pounds. I think he is being generous. If the average wieght of a package is around 30 pounds then 40 packages equals the estimated wieght of those bags. The bottom of a W trailer equates to 24 percent of the total trailers space. Your average W trailer probably holds about 1200 packages. Therefore the average the bottom of one of these trailers should hold is 288 packages or 8640 pounds vs 27360 up top. Big difference. So I do think feeder drivers should use these opportunities to educate inside personel on the importance of filling up the bottom of a trailer ( with packages in this case) . [/QUOTE]
