Just purchased a 48 flatbed split axle. Chains and Straps?

Little wonder I wasted a post trying to be informative on topic. Sheesh.

 

I think we have a troll. Almost got me, but something just ain't right.

 

Lol all that bravado. Gotta be a troll. Employs 3 people, 2 in the six figures, owes $4k in taxes. Lmao
For a person so proud to show their ###, sure ain’t got much to show.
I’m with you @PoleCrusher

 

And lest we forget... 1.5 whole yrs of big time trucking experience lmao

 

It boggles my mind that there ISN'T a securement endorsement for open deck. It would be best if it was a written test and maybe throw in some actual securement on standard loads, including coils.

 

I think so now that I think about it.

I put him on ignore for my sake. I wont be dealing with that one ever again.

 

I absolutely agree. Since ELD's became mandatory shippers or receivers can't play the "just fudge your logs" game anymore. I get anywhere from $50-$105 per hour detention, depending on the customer contract. Two days ago I got eight hours in the sleeper berth, paid $85 an hour to sleep, got a split 8 and made delivery before the receiver called it a day. As soon as the company man started mumbling about fudging log books I said, "I can't, I'm on ELD". Case closed. Momma got new shoes...

... really nice shoes.

 

Truer words were never spoken.

Unsubscribed.

 

This exactly what I'm saying. A written test proving knowledge of the basics found in the FMCSA Cargo Securement guide would be ideal. There's one for doubles, passenger and HAZMAT so having one for open deck is a no brainer to me.
