    • Floor-loaded containers and trailers must follow Amazon’s Floor Loading Policy, including limits on stack height, carton weight and mixed-SKU loading

    • Clearly describe any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so LGA5/LGA9 can plan appropriate labor and unloading equipment
