Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

after I made my delivery in Sumter NC, I got sent down to Gerogetown Nc to get a load of slinkies going up to Orville Ohio. Only had to wait for lunch as there was no one in front of me. I even got to secure and tarp there without going over to the other lot. It was about 70 degrees and I was sweating pretty good. Another Maverick pulled in and we spoke briefly. I told him to go ahead and put his front and rear rack on as close to the ends as possible and if they need to move it, they will tell him. I heard a lot of clanging and I finally looked over to see what he was doing. He had set up his coil racks all the way down the length of his trailer. He did not have all the boards in them yet. So I walked over and asked him how many he was getting. He told me he did not know yet. I then asked him why he was doing that with the racks. He said he did not know. I explained that he only needed one in the front and the back. He said oh..thanks.
So before I left I asked him if he was sure on how to secure it. He said he had hauled a load like this once and you just throw the straps over the top of them. I explained that this was going to be a eyes to the side load and he needed to butterfly them. I explained the process and then went on my way.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW TO SECURE A LOAD, LOOK IN THE BOOK OR AT THE VIDEOS.....OR CALL SOMEONE OR ASK! Good Idea to review from time to time as well! Made it to Brintles where I spent the night. Did my pretrip and found another light out. I was able to get it fixed there and it only set me back about an hour. I had plenty of time so it was not that big of a deal.
Made it up to the Gulliver Truck plaza to spend the night near Canton Ohio. They have just recently gone out of business but you can still park there.
Made my delivery the next morning as planned at 0930.
Got my next load to go up to Charter Steel in Cuyahoga Hts Ohio going to South Holland Il for delivery at 0945 Monday Morning.
It started to snow right after I got there and I ended up tarping in snow and gusts up to 30 mph. I just took my time and used my bungies and portable straps to keep my tarp from blowing off as I rolled it out. It was a challenge for sure!
Made it home by 17:00 and will be heading for the Gary yard this afternoon right after lunch. Not a good week for miles but I am not complaining
because I spent two days down south and I enjoyed the sun and walking around in a t shirt.
Hope everyone has a great week!
