San Francisco Movers
From the news: “It’s not going as fast as I wanted,” said Myers, who had earlier boasted that the bridge might open before Tuesday morning. “We lost a little time last night. With the heavy lifts (of concrete debris) we’ve been getting, there are only one or two trucks that can carry them. So (the material) sits around waiting.” — But transportation officials said there was still plenty of wiggle room in the schedule to complete the job on time to get commuters to work Tuesday morning. “There is a total of about 15 hours of float time built into the schedule, and we haven’t used any of that,” said John Goodwin, a spokesman for Metropolitan Transportation Commission. “So, if time is money, that’s the rainy-day fund and we haven’t had to dip into it.” — By 10 p.m. Sunday, workers were scheduled to begin rolling the 6,500-ton new bridge section into place at the westbound entrance to the tunnel. They’ll place it on tracks, lift it up on giant jacks, and then inch it at a rate of about 4 millimeters per minute, according to Goodwin. — Bay Bridge crews slowed by shortage of trucks to handle heavy loads.

Should San Francisco Movers worry their loads sink in the water?
“No, I don’t really think so.” said Alexander Ravich San Francisco Movers manager. Even though Flatrate trucks are heavily loaded, the bridge is strong enough to carry them.
