The material supplier did a nice job on bundling the order, and with that type trailer, seems like the least impact on the trusses. I used to deliver trusses, one of the trailers was the type that you loaded the trusses with the peak down, then released the bolster arms and let the peak drop and trusses flop over. Sometimes webs would break from a rock, or bump, especially in the winter, but most orders did ok, and if any were broke, they were replaced or repaired on site. I never liked that method though, to much of a drop, I'd have machine to unload if I had to take an order like that. Really like that roll off trailer, we used to do the framing lumber seperately, on flatbed dumps, all chained together as a unit with angle iron protecting the corners, raise the bed up, let the one end hit, pull up a bit, lay your chocks/dunnage blocks down and pull out, those drops worked well, especially with a chain/binder holding it together. They really have improved the material handling end of it, some real labor savers, especially those tag along fork lifts, cannot recall how much I unloaded by hand, they got it easy today ! Looks like a great site and a nice size, best of luck and don't forget the progress photos.
