flat vs van for a rookie?

Thats what hooked me. I like the work and I like the brotherhood. I like the trucks and the various trailers. I like the loaders (usually a crane rigging crew).
I like the feeling of satisfaction I get after every load is delivered.

 

If yous want a real work out try hauling cars,.........Walk roughly a mile per car to find and load them,........A 9 car load can make for lots of fun!!!,......

 

I was told before going into Flatbedding.....

• Very little bumping a dock....I bump a dock about 50% of the time..next....
• Load or unload during daylight hours....Hmm...I get to play vampire about 30% of the time......not that bad.....

And sometimes.....you get to back into a dock that was built for a 96" trailer with your 102"......have fun......


Btw....Thank you for your service to our country......

 

You forgot to add: Back Blind-sided" too......

 

That pic I posted that was a 102 in a 96 hole. A very tight 96 hole. Been in many a 96 and that was the tightest.

 

Oh hell...I know Rifle...very well thank you.......
Been to Energy Tubular's sites.......

Want some real fun...go to Cheveron's right of ways in the Santa Susannas CA-14/I-5...... The ROWs are the old wagon-train trails from the High Desert to San Fernando Valley....Bad enough with a "Flat-rack/"Gang-truck".....try them with an end-dump......

 

Ah......I like 'em crushed.....

 

I like them "tight"....oh wait...this is a family forum.....oops.....

 

Thank you, Sir for the kind words of support and the very valuable feedback.

Thanks to all of you for the valuable feedback. The pics are bada**, too.
