Questions for this shipment:

Question: Would you laod the A frame on my flatbed? Does this soapstone break easily? If it is strapped side to side is that sufficient and how will you secure the A frame to the trailer? Thanks. GZ TOP. (8/18/2006)

Response: Yes, we can load the slabs onto your trailer with our forklift. The soapstone does not break any easier than marble or granite slabs if properly loaded. Usually the A frames are nailed or screwed down to the bed of the truck, assuming that the flatbed has wood on the bed. If it is a metal bed truck, then the truckers usually use straps or chains to hold the frames to the truck. Thanks, Ben (8/19/2006)
