I will bump this.

IF you are wanting to ship something out of the gov planet warehouse. You need to email your Bill of Lading, Release, Shipping label to GPEASTSHIPPING@Ritchiebros.com pickup hours are 0800 to 1400 for LTL/Freight and personal pickups. Use the address above on the WCN Drive.

Yellow Freight maintains drop trailers at the facility on Tuesday and Thursday. UPS Freight has a drop trailer there as well and picks it up one day a week. Any other LTL carrier can pickup between hours you just need to send everything the day before the scheduled pickup.

I have family living about 35 miles away. They've picked up several loads for me from there. Last one was a generator trailer (I bought them a pintle and light). He is open to consider picking up for folks if it is a light trailer or a pallet or two. His truck has a cap on it so that would be a limiting factor. Cost? You'd have to discuss that with him. He'd mainly be picking up to hold for you to get on a weekend or maybe drop off to a freight company. If someone wants something, PM me and I'll provide his phone number. (My relatives are no longer able to assist in picking things up)

Anybody have any smaller crate items shipped out of LEAD? I was looking at an item but its in a huge unneccessary crate that puts it oversize for UPS and all that wood adds wasted weight.

If you get cute and try to pull a M105 out of this place with a pickup truck: PA truck inspectors have discovered area is fertile hunting ground for impounds. I always trailered my stuff out of there which eliminates those pesky problems with licensing, insurance, defective equipment and such that interest truck inspectors.

They stop everyone near there regardless of what they are driving, towing, or hauling. A member who frequents there was stopped 3 x on the same day in a 15 mile radius of the yard in a truck clearly marked "farm vehicle" so even you trailering it would get you stopped.

Maybe I should drive the M1010 out to pick up my pallet... :whistle:

Does anyone know if its ok to tow a generator bolted to its trailer with just the proper pindle hook hitch, chains and portable trailer lights without a plate. I looked up the exemption for trailers section 1302 article 11. Are these MEP gensets under 3,000 lbs legal to tow with no registration or plate? I cant talk to anyone at Penn Dot on the phone. Its all computers.

Does Chambersburg have a freight loading dock at their warehouse?

My Carrier is billing me for inside pickup surcharge and I want to have my facts straight before I call?

Yes. There are about 10 dock doors. Ive had central freight charge for inside pickup and i disputed it.



Yellow freight has a drop trailer there that loads out tuesdays and Thursdays. They don't charge me for an appointment or inside pickup there but they do at vegas location, where there is no drop trailer.

"Inside pick-up charge ?" I have heard of carriers charging for inside DELIVERY, but a pick up at a loading dock ? Ask the carrier to furnish you with a copy of the applicable section in their tariff and se what it says.

Thanks Wes as that is exactly what I need and the aerial shot is icing on the cake.

Yes, I made the mistake booking Central. They have tried to screw me on the weight but there is a clear label showing the weight of the item. I disputed that and now this bs. Hindsight, I would have booked another carrier.

Be Aware of Central Transport! They are yellow trucks and trailers! These folks are different than Central Freight which is a different company.
