    If you would have swung by I might have given it to ya. My appt happen durning shift change so it took awhile to get loaded. So now Im spending the night outside the gate. Be up at 4 and shag ### to cincy. Then hopefully a reload to go home with for a monday delivery.


    Btw looking at this tarp job I did would have been nice to have your wagon. Tarped most of it outside in the dark. There were like 4 wagons behind me got my chains on and paper work then finished outside. Didnt wanna be the arse holding up the line.

    I would've tarped it, my wagon is stowed under my trailer in its boxes, part of the deal with them trying to keep me to my own trailer is that i have to put up and tear down my sidekit to haul our different customers freight...

    I had it up for chicago earlier this week, then I tore it down to load this jersey i kicked off, now ill put it up tommorow and load another few stops to chicago...

    A little word from the wise (the guy who ended up tarping in like 50mph winds outside of east chicago because I was trying to be a "nice guy" and not "hold everyone up") put your two chains on and then toss your tarp and pin your 4 corners and pull out, because its easier to string some chains through the coil with your tarp in the way than deal with trying to get your tarp evened up and over the coil in the dark/wind...

    personally when I do it, ill have my racks ready with my chains, binders, and chain protectors all sitting right by the middle of my deck, with my J hooks in the track and when they stick that coil on there I bust tail to get all the chains on and my tarp pinned before I pull out, it doesn't take very long...
