From my experience in NARA, where I was involved in a couple of major
inter-records center transfers, I would recommend against it, for many of
the reasons Patrick Cunningham mentions in his post. Primarily, (and
contrary to what Pat says - sorry) if you fill the trailer too full of
records, you WILL exceed highway weight limits and the trucking company WILL
get fined, which isn't good for anybody. Double stacking a 53' trailer
practically guarantees that you will be overweight. It would be better to
experiment with ways to pack your pallets in a way that allows you to get
close to the weight limit of the trailer (which may vary among states on
your route) with a single level of pallets - maybe 6 layers of boxes on the
pallet rather than 5, or 10 boxes per layer rather than 8, or other
variations in what you are doing now.

Subject: Stacking Pallets
Hi all,
Any strong opinions on whether it's ok to stack full, tightly shrink-wrapped
pallets of records boxes on top of one another in a truck?
Thank you,
