Re: Caution using Old Dominion Freight
I had a 37.5% shipped from California to Louisiana on Old Dominion. Received it in only 3-1/2 days. Cardboard and protective ply had some damage. I opened it on the spot and the plane was good.
Had another 37.5% Shipped from Florida to Louisiana on UPS/Overnight Trucking in 4 days and cardboard and protective ply came in with some damage and plane had quite a bit of damage. When I saw the damaged box, I opened it on the spot. Saw the damage and refused it.
My thoughts are, neither of these boxes had any instructions on them. If anyone did'nt know it was a plane in the box and you're on the forklift and just looking at the size of the box you would think it's very heavy, so it's only natural to scoop it up with a forklift. Neither of these boxes had Fragile, or Top Load written on them.
Using any truck/freight co. is taking a chance when it comes to planes unless the packaging is bullet proof. I had good service from Old Dominion.
