Projects are moving forward now that we have a work truck in the mix. Monday FM and I got more free pallets and this time we were able to squeeze in 14. We debated whether to take the shell off the truck to grab more each load until we discovered the spare mechanism under the truck was bent and no longer able to hold a tire, oh and the jack is also missing. Looks like the spare has to ride in the back for now and the shell has to stay. I added FM onto my AAA card on Tuesday.
Anyway, with shell in place we are limited to 14 per load. Turns out that is actually okay because we have to remove and stack them when we get home and these suckers are heavy. One more load and we will have cleared out their pallet inventory, though the owner says they get huge deliveries once a month and they stack up quick. So inspired by finding pallets, I'm starting to troll the loading docks behind malls. Wal-Mart had some uber-cool blue ones. They would probably shoot you in the back if you tried to take one too so I'm going to avoid those. Most of the others I found were crap and not worth my time to load. I'm a pallet snob now.
Current pallet count - 24!
