I have a question about this: Is there a need to do this? And if we had all
the skids ready we could have the trailer loaded in a matter of a couple of
hours if we have a forklift and a dock door. Without the dock door what we
will need to do is lift the pallets onto the trailer and use a hand jack to
move them to the end of the trailer, all in all it should still only take a
couple of hours, I can call Ryder and see how much the cost is to rent a
truck and a trailer for 1 day (if we can take it to Indy and have it
unloaded the same day) and then return the truck and trailer. We need to see
what kind of return we will receive on the loads. Remember I do have a valid
Class A CDL and would be able to accommodate this.
