It is depot-specific. The Atlanta FA depot used to let you just drop off
games, and they would pallet and strap them for you. now you have to do
it all yourself. The depot up where I live in MN does not have the
facilities to strap and pallet games so you must do it yourself. but Lan
Air is the SAME COMPANY as FA. Forward Air does not air freight the games
around, they put them in Land Air Trucks and truck them
to their destination
(at least that is what they told me they do)
