No tarp flatbed

You must haul more complicated freight than me haha
Once my tarps on the load I unroll it and shove the sides off and at that point I consider myself done.
To me pulling bungees is my "cool-down" and I take my time there so I can see any issues I may have missed with my securement during the process.

Some of those funky loads though, I'm parking first thing. That's enough work for the day lol

 

I think you just perfectly described everyone on welfare

 

Where is their terminal out of?

 

I wanna work for that company when you find it. Well I'd rather not have the auto but I'm not very motivated either so I won't fight you for it.

 

But I want my helper to ride with the load so he can't complain about my horrid hygiene or genuine lack of cleanliness

 

In the three years that I have been here I have seen one load that was tarped and the customer did that. The boss does not even have tarps on the truck.

 

I have all kinds of tarps. sittin in a corner of my shop behind some other stuff that I need a lot of motivation to move. haven't found that motivation yet! hope I never do!

 

Well let's see, the last tarp ld I dad was a crate 20' l 11' w and 12'4 on the ground.
I had to get the tarp on top of the crate. No forklift to help.
Then pad the corners to keep from ripping my tarp.. Then finally unroll it.. That was more than 10 mins..
Plus getting all my tarp straps dug out of the box and tieing the tarp was more time

 

The boss tole me a story once where he had loaded this huge generator on the lowboy. Then the customer told him, ok now you can tarp it. They argued for a while and then he signaled the crane operator to pick the load off. The customer went to Walmart and bought a bunch of tarps and wrapped it themselves.

The closest we come to tarping is covering the windshield on the part of equipment that is facing forward.

 

dang then I guess I tarp every load I haul then! I have a pc of tarp sewn into a turbo boot with a bunge cord attached, does that count as tarping a load.
