...and so duct tape is supposed to keep the forklift from going through the floor? :shock:

Well - you do know the saying about an empty trailer hauling a load of dispatcher brains :lol:

Holy mother of God! I can't imagine what kind of rolls weigh almost 12000# each. I've loaded rolls many times, but typically they're 5000# to 7000# rolls, with 7 or 8 rolls per load. I assume we're talking about drywall paper on a flatbed trailer, no?

Nope - 53' dry van - exactly like skywalker explained. It seemed like everytime I got a load like that I had to go the entire length of the WV turnpike with 'em...
