    Loving these new all electric/hydrogen Nikola semis! I’ve hauled 3 in the last few weeks back to Eloy for repairs! Keep them coming. I’m down with the green movement, I love the “green” that goes in my pocket! D0D03357-1DAC-4215-BBB8-517840B0E2F7.jpeg 34F474A2-C576-455E-AD96-9E06EE3FF89B.jpeg

    I’ve been out of the flatbed game for some time so thank you all for the help. I just hate to make new threads for quick topics.

    Buying equipment from scratch general DAT load freight how much of each would you carry and should I do 4ft and 6ft tarps or 4ft and 8ft tarps. I don’t really want to tarp 8ft tall but if a decent amount of freight requires it I’m willing to.

    8ft dunnage
    Beveled dunnage
    Coil racks
    Steel edge protectors

    What I carry will seem minimal to some and does cut me out of some freight, but half or more of what my company does is for 5 or 6 shippers and it works for me.

    3 pc at 8 ft true 4x4
    2 pc 4.5 ft beveled dunnage true 4x4
    2 pc 4.5 ft square dunnage true 4x4
    4 racks (i have the angled heavy duty ones, not the flimsy sheet metal versions)
    0 steel edge protectors, if i need edge protection on a coil, i have the heavy duty felt pads

    Tarps, I think if youre all over the place, 6 footers will sometimes be worth the extra sweat but I only carry 4 footers, I did my time with 8 footers, the pay is almost always worse for loads needing those where I am
