    Depending on the type of brick, it’s actually safer to tarp them. Some of banding on those bundles can be quite loose.

    Think all the flatbed types are in agreement.

    Well, there ya go.
    Reason #12 why I wouldn't pull a flatbed.
    Reason #1 is because they're not as sexy as dry vans.

    That would be counting the prison population. But you're thinking right

    If memory serves me, the box you tend to pull is some sort of orange color. Now if it was Stainless, that could be given consideration.

    I liked pulling flats when I did it. A good concentrated load on one always rode nice, and I enjoyed watching them flex in mirror when I hit a bump. :)

    I call it 'Ofensivially Orange'.
    But it's the driver that makes all the difference
