Re: GM Semis

Wow, that top log has no business being on top of there.

Even Kiln Dry Framing Lumber needs to be loaded sensibly.

One day at the freight yard, my boss got behind the wheel of the fork lift instead of the regular fork lift driver. We would load 3 high all the time, although not all units were the same height. He put the taller and heavier load on the curb side of my '62 6500. The truck was "top heavy" enough as it was and I swear my drivers seat was about a foot higher than normal, lol. I took the load back to the yard (a mile or two) very cautiously. If it were to be a long haul, I would had refused. I took full left hand turns at about 3 MPH.
