What if it Snows?

HA..... Survive flatbed for 2 weeks and cancel that gym membership.

 

Wimp! Let’s just say I graduated HS in the 70’s
Have only run open deck.

seriously, it’s as hard as you want to make it. Work smart.

 

What I hated is the gale winds. Some early morning - 30 3 inches on the ground over ice and its 40 suststained.

Unroll first tarp wind grabs it and it's gone down the mountain. Fine forget it I'll get it on the way out. LEave it lay.

Tarp two dump roll on the ground, back a outside trailer wheel on it attempt to unroll into the wind get buried and rolled in it. *&^% repeat the exercise with the opposite side trailer wheel. Then try to cover the load against the wind. Get thrown off.

Enter tarp three. Shaking and tired this time angry too. Toss it onto the deck. Get up there slip on ice and follow the tarp over the other side 4 feet down. OW.

3 hours later job is done ready to roll minus that roll way down there.

UNMotivating. I #### near quit. #### near quit. so close to quitting... if anyone laughed at me or teased me I would have laid him out.

And winter raged on. It didnt care.

 

lol yeah I'll be lifting cheater bars, tarps, straps and chains. Plus climbing up and down the skateboard. I'll look like this....



In no time.

 

48 or 53.
If you look at the trailer, eyeball the kingpin, usually close to half way between that and last axle.
Not perfect, but fast down and dirty.
That’s usually about where the side light is.

 

Looks like you’re spending too much money on tattoos.

 

There are only a few things about flatbed that really do make the list of pure suckitudeness.
Falling off the trailer or load. That is the absolute worst.
Lots of people worry about the load falling on them.
Truth is, if that happens, your not going to care.......

 

So I gotta get myself back in shape over the next year you are saying?
