Narrative:
Aircraft experienced a mechanical. We troubleshot system to be an antiskid problem we could not rectify. We found that it would be best to ferry the aircraft to our main maintenance base for repair. I was verbally told that all that was loaded in the cargo bin was ballast, so when I did the preflight inspection I did not open to verify that there was no mail/freight. There was, however, 59 pounds of mail left on the plane. The 59 pounds was on the flight plan. The main situation is that I was supposed to verify the bin(south) were not containing any revenue freight/mail. I took the word of someone versus actually verifying.
