To the SAFETY TRAINERS IN FORUMLAND: Is it possible to work out a deal with companies who ship products either pallet/skid or large box pallet to weigh and affix a label stating the weight of pallet so as make it much safer for operators and take away the guess work. I figure somewhere in the procees, the pallets are weighed so the shipper knows the weights that are being loaded on their trucks. Some companies here locally weigh their loads before loading company owned trailers so they can distribute loads to keep axle weights correct and keep the guys at the Hiway scales happy.Would this be an issue that needs to be worked out with supplier?
your feed back is appreciated....
