I pull flatbed in New Hampshire. If you go OTR you probably won’t stay in the Northeast, but I can promise you it’s not for the faint of heart. Tarping in -15 or with a good wind blowing will separate the men from the boys really quick.

Yep, the super cold sucks. Tarping in it ain't so bad, but untarping and trying to roll a heavy tarp suck. My last -18* untarp in Glendive left my tarps in a mess on the deck, strapped down. They couldn't be folded.

When it's super windy I'll take a few chains up with me. When I drop the sides, I hook each end of the chain into the d rings. That'll keep it down even on the 40+ mph days.

@aramil248, watch for the flatbed companies you see on the road up there and call them. There should be lumber coming out, and I see loads to Maine out of the midwest often.

I'd think those companies would be interested in someone from that area.
