It's a Team's Life

Truck meets Plane

We picked up two skids that needed to be on the other side of the country ASAP and we needed to meet a charter jet.  The charter jet was coming from miles away and we only had a few miles to go.  We made it to the small airport and we were able to watch the planes coming and going.  When our plane arrived we backed up to the loading door of the plane with our lift gate lowered and in the proper position to move the freight from the truck to the plane.  The jet was really tight in the cargo bay area so our pallet jack was on no use except in the truck.  We were able to get the pallet to the door and then they used their J bar and man power to move the pallet into place and secure the pallet within the plane.  It was very interesting to talk to the pilots about their jobs and compare notes with what we do.  We had fun with this load and the challenge of moving the freight from our truck to the cargo hold of the plane.
