I would assume that there would be dunnage of some type between the two sides. But I am not sure how they did it. If we could get an overhead shot, or someone that knew the loading pattern.Todd Hi Ricky,
Good question on the wallboard loads. Having bee a carpenter all my life I've handled a lot of drywall I know that the shipper wouldn't allow two bundles to be directly in contact with each other. Any rubbing of the edges in transit would destroy them. As Bill said they would have most likely used strips of wallboard both under and between the bundles. I know it's that way on a trucker's flatbed at least. With all that wallboard at the plant to use for blocking or dunnage they probably didn't want to buy any lumber to add to their costs either. I know this still doesn't answer the question as far as measurements go. Keep looking for pics of wallboard loads online and maybe you'll hit the jackpot with a top shot.

When wallboard is shipped in bulkhead flats, does it still have 2x4 spacers along the center before it is wrapped for protection or is/was it stacked side by side with no spacers?
Thanks
