Loading and Moving LTL Freight.

Moving LTL freight (less than truckload) was well organized to say the least at Motorways. Workers on the docks unloaded small shipments from city pick-up trucks. And stacker's in turn loaded it onto trailers at the terminal. Things had to be organized and many times the trailer left the warehouse dock to pick up another shipment in the city. The foreman then hoped there was sufficient room left on the trailer for any freight he had sitting on the warehouse floor. After the loading was finished, the office staff would type out all the shipment bills and make them ready for the driver to leave for his destination. Highway dispatch would then decide what loads were to move in and out of the terminals. Motorways was a busy company...they hauled millions of pounds of freight daily!
