I worked in the brick industry for 18 years and the last 10 years loading boxcars with cubes of brick. It was customary to start by loading wooden gates into each end to act as a buffer and a way to hold the top tier as we double stacked the brick cubes. After setting four cubes of wrapped brick on a padded floor of either sawdust or discarded cardboard, we would back up a few inches while leaving the forks inside the cubes and ramming at speed to pack the brick cubes with the front of the truck. This may explain why the ends of these cars are shoved out, but our fork trucks were small in size and did not have the power to pu***he ends out. <br /> <br />Fork trucks are dangerous as I have seen many cars come into our yard with pushed out ends and dented roofs. Even some had the doors ripped off the track with broken appliances where we wired the door shut after loading. Some doors had to be pulled closed by hooking a chain to the back of the fork truck while your buddy used his truck front to hellp close the door. <br /> <br />Ramming the cubes was a head jarring thing.
