[TowerTalk] Trucking/shipping towers and antennas

[Bob Maser]

I don't even know you pal.  Over the last 15 years I have used a moving 
company 4 times and they all do it the same.  When they come to you house to 
give you an estimate, it is purely that.  In the end, you are charged by the 
pound, pure and simple.  Get a life.

Bob....you are going to have to accept what I said.
You have no earthly idea what my arrangements were and I am positive that
you cannot read my mind.
Stop telling me I 'am incorrect'.
I'm getting tired of hearing that from you.
If you don't have something good to say....don't say it.

You are incorrect regarding "No charge".  After they loaded the trailer,
they took it down and weighed it all and you were charged for the total
weight onboard, including the stuff in the belly pack.
