Now back to trucking. I made it home. Out of Joisey, I hauled another broker load. A super light load of solor panel frames, and one small pallet of components to Orlando. The pallet of components was the only thing that had to be tarped. Delivered that Thursday and was home by 14:00, more than a day earlier than requested which means I leave back out a day earlier next week. Not complaining, living in FL as a truck driver, you take what you can get to get home as close to your requested home time as you can get.
So far it has taken me 2 days to get one of the big trees cut up that were knocked down by the hurricane. I'm not that slow, the first one I am working on was 100+ feet high and was around 36" across at the base, and I only have a 22" saw...and it is the smaller one, not sure I will be able to cut the other one with the equipment I have. Looking back, we were fortunate in this storm, the county to the northwest of us (Suwannee county) still has places where the power is still out because it is so rural and the population is so spread out. The National Guard is going out and delivering water and MRE's to folks who are still waiting for electricity restoration.

My turn to ##### about pretarped loads. Made it 2400 of the 2800 miles on this trip and the middle tarp came untucked from the front. Luckily it was bungeed very well, just none really pulling forward. A couple of 1” straps should keep it in place until delivery.
The local driver padded some spots and not others, in his defense these pre wrapped loads are hard to see all the sharp spots. He did use comically small pieces of carped though, one piece was literally 4” square.
Still better then doing the work myself.Attached Files:

More new equipment spotted on the Ohio turnpike. I really like the securement options these j plates provide. Much more secure then just throwing a strap from side to side.
After untarping last night I see what the local driver did. He did have the padding secured, just probably could have used some More tape. Nothing a little glue and patching can’t fix.Lonesome, IH9300SBA, Rugerfan and 1 other person Thank this.
