Trex. There is a Trex plant in Fernley. They don't want you if you can't take 48K. And they make you tarp even though their units of supposedly indestructable product are plastic wrapped and the plastic is always dirt & dust encrusted, and could benefit from a rain rinse and a blow dry.

It's a breeze for me- I can take over 50 with our average curtain van and with the air scales I only check weigh if I'm really close.

They are a really fast load, usually out in an hour or so, just don't ask me about the time they gave me the wrong order & I had to turn arond and go back from Sparks.

Just out of curiosity I will take a closer look at the loads LS has out of Fernley to see what they are.

Quick update:

I picked a pair of military welding trailers in Covington, TN and took them to Terminal Island, Ca (San Pedro area). I delivered then on Thurday the 14th and then reloaded that same day in Brea, Ca. I have one stop in Greenville, TX (which is where I am right now) tomorrow morning and then final out in Ste Genevieve, MO on Tuesday.
