Chris do they make you drive the truck? What do you mean? Do you have to load it on the truck yourself?

You have to take it to them. Then you have to wait around while they unload and weigh it- and they have all sorts of dock rules. Then you have to fill out paperwork. Then you get a price, then have to drive out of an industrial neighborhood and buy a money order at a ghetto convenience store.

Believe me when I tell you that pulling a handful of $50's out in some places attracts more attention than in some others.

The upside is they're really cheap. I have a national account with a big LTL at a 76% discount and FA is sometimes half that cost.
