Post your flatbed load pictures here

No point in taping the exhaust at all when you can cut a hole in an empty bottle of windshield washer fluid, leaving the handle, attach a bungie to the handle, and have a simple, reusable exhaust cover. Use a broomstick to get it up there, use the bungie to hook it to whatever's handy to keep it on there, and off you go.

Keep them hooks on the bungees turned out. You tarp nice n tight, but if you ever get wind pushing the tarps around, over time they'll eat little holes!!! Other then that, great!!! Looks like you've been tarpin for years! Wait till you get the odd shaped stuff, lol, then you'll have fun!!!!!

 

Cat used to sell a "turbosaver sock" made out of wetsuit type material; don't know if they still do. I had a couple "stack bags" made out of tarp material and would bungee it on. I know at Milton Cat here in NH you don't roll if the exhaust is pointed forward without covering it. Buddy of mine loaded a 966H to go to GA with last night from the cathouse; and the stack is covered. I am really suprised Deere doesn't require it.

You are a tarping fool. Tighter than my fiddle strings. Looks good.

Sorry... Nevermind my last post.. I found the link to your blog.... TY

 

New to the site, figured this would be a good place to start.
I have only been driving truck for 7 months or so. Sooooo see anything you'd do different, I'm always open to advice or suggestions.

I run all over BC (in the mountains a lot), Canada with the odd trip out to Alberta and the company I work for sometimes runs as far as Sask, and I have heard of atleast 1 load that went as far as Ontario.

My very first load, bunch of lumber...common load for us we do a lot of local mill transfer's


My first non local load, full load of brick blocks


Parked in the hospital parking lot when my son got sick while I was away. This was the framing of a house on the front, and stuff for a mouldings company on the back trailers


Four pick load from the mainland back to the island I live on. Mower attatchents then some pallets of sandblasting sand under the tarps and then more stuff for a mouldings company on the back trailer


Full load of 2x4's from Prince George back to the island.


10' 8" wide 14' high potato harvester from Enderby to the island. I hung over the passenger side a lot more then the drivers side...but can't for the life of me find the picture of the passenger side. It was flagged and there is pull out oversized lights that I hadn't slid out yet when I took the picture.


And 4 months ago I got myself an upgrade in trucks...My first load with the new truck was also my longest trip which was from the island out to Calgary (1200km+ one way)
The aluminum parts are the ribbing for an airplane on a Jig.


Tarped and waiting for the ferry


My load back from Calgary...this thing was a POS wouldn't start again once shut off, missing a tire...


We move a LOT of this oversized veneer into the interior from the coast. And then usually plywood back to the coast or island.



3 decorative cement archways for over the doors of a new fire hall.


Not exactly a place for a highway tractor....


Left over brick from the firehall and cement forms from a different job heading back to the customers yard on the island


load of tarped lumber on the way to Calgary again...hit white out conditions so took the opportunity to re-fill my windshield washer fluid and stretch my legs while I waited it out.


This thing burns wood without creating smoke apparently...
33,000lbs 31' long 8' 6" wide and 8' high




Thats about it for now...

 

Do they have any paved roads up there??

Ok how do you get off that island?
