Cedar siding..

So today we received our 320 pieces of Western Red Cedar from California. The total weight was 2800 lbs / 1270 kg. In an effort to save two trips from town bringing this material back, we decided to rent a home depot pickup truck. We had to return their scaffolding anyway so this was a good excuse. Well, on the back of the truck it stated it can carry 3000 lbs, which was more then our load of 2800 lbs. When the forklift put the material on the truck it started beeping like crazy. Probably an overload warning meant to prevent damage to it. However clearly the sensor was damaged because we had less weight. Anyway, we took the majority back and whatever remained we easily managed with our pickup truck. We could have easily managed the load in two trips because our truck can carry 1500 lbs officially.
