You need to be even more careful than that if you have to pick up the tower,
or freight.
Some years back, actually quite a few years back, I picked up a shipment of
KLM antennas at the freight depot. Everything from the 40 meter linear
loaded through 10 meter monobanders. There was also a Wilson 7L 10 meter
yagi. We really had to work to get them all on the pick up truck.
We loaded up, I checked, went inside to sign, and then headed for home. I
noticed something didn't look right, made a U-turn and went back in. And
inventory showed two of the big antennas missing. They said I signed for
them and left. Of course the antennas were removed while I was inside
signing.
