Well lastnight I went to home depot (arrrgggg) waited 30 minute to recive my prepaid windsor wall. So here come two ******** that take this pallet of stone on a fork lift and proceed to set it down half on the bed half on the tailgate and begin to lower the whole amount of weight down. The truck squats hard and I tell em stop stop stop, load it by hand.

While doing that the guy says to me "this Dodge sure let me down". Im thinking yea buddy its the trucks fault you dont know how to fork a load into a bed. After all 2,500 pounds was loaded he said huh, I guess it was weight distribution. DUH! Put the load on the tailgate and that might have something to do with it.

All in all got home and unloaded it all with no problems. Thanks for the help guys. Ill post pictures of the yard project when its done.

i always just pop the tailgate off when they load via forklift. prevents them from setting the weight on the gate, and running into it. then the trailer hitch stinger stops them from crashing the forklift mast into the bumper.
