Had a new swing door at 176 today. Loaded it on a short route. The driver was surprised when he found out the the such a good looking trailer had swing doors. Just stood there looking at it. He went to close the door reached up and realized the door was not up there. Only had one dock stop so really was no big deal. He also had a p/u with sixteen 48x40x104 plts. Would not have fit in a roll up. So the trailers have there place.
Your right about that, when i was running city here at FXF, one customer had a shipment that was too wide for a trailer with roll up doors. ( which is all we have)
I told him the only ltl I know of with swing doors around here was ABF, and thus you guys got a shipment and yet I still took care of a customer by helping him out of a spot, you nay call it a win win, lol.
