They change help more often than a Kardashian girl changes under drawers.
A 53’ flatbed pulls up out front and goes in the store. I went in and placed my order about the same time. I go down in the yard and start loading my own. Soon I see the semi trying to get down in the yard. They have bunks of lumber laying all over in the way. I get part of my load and go to the store to change my ticket to what they had in stock. The guy at the counter says I have more down n the yard. I explain I find this have much time. He says well the yard guy should have helped me. I explained that he had a 53’ flatbed to load. He says the flatbed is just getting 4 8’ 4x4. I asked why then didn’t they just bring them up with the fork lift or carry them up? As I was leaving I saw the semi had traffic blocked both ways trying to get around stuff and get on the road. The yard guy was just sitting there texting. |

Well, maybe assume positive intent. Maybe the Yard Guy was texting a pic to all his Buddy's saying "check out this moron loading out 4 8'x4"x4" !

Surprisingly, a prius can haul long items surprisingly well. I once sold 4 1X 12's, over 8' long, and he got them in diagonally by a pass through from the trunk, and by lowering the passenger front seat back. That being said, I don't know how many 4x4"s he'd manage, but I do know there would be a traffic jam behind him!
