    Does anyone have experience with a semi-truck shipment.   I've got several questions.

    Chewy donated a semi-truckload of pet beds to us to be distributed to the entire population (no restrictions).  We are a small rural town and this was a blessing to say the least.   It has been a very exciting 7 days.  (We only got notice of the exact date of shipment 2 days before it arrived!)   Check out our FB page for photos and videos.   (PS - I guess I left out the fact that the shipment has arrived, has been unloaded and was distributed yesterday!!)

    That's wonderful!! It's nice to see a rural shelter get some major help! We too are rural and rely on donations to make it through. But to be able to spread the joy around to everyone is nice. I wonder if it will be on pallets taped up? Might want to have extra hands there to help unload just in case.

    It actually arrived last week and it has been unloaded and distributed.  It arrived in large boxes (12 to a carton) and on pallets -- you are correct.
