    Picture this: Laredo. August. 105+ degrees at 3pm. Fat truck driver with 1 month flatbed experience coming from a decade with dry van.

    I struggled so hard with them onions my dude I swear I won’t ever do it again. My friend said “oh just walk on them it’s easy” yeah, no. Even doing my best, after 3+ hours or so, I made it all the way to NYC with around 10 bags stuffed in my trailer box and dunnage rack.

    I was going to do onions after I unload on Friday, but the hate they get on this forum is scaring me away. Does anyone do onion loads if its their choice?

    That's a good price going W to E. I'd take it, despite onions being a pain in the ###.

    I did one just to do it. If I did it again, I would make sure to have 2x's for the middle of the front and rear pallets. My pallets broke in the middle with the ends up on 4x4's. A set of pallets made me nervous on day 3, but looking at my loading pictures, they had a little lean to begin with. Make sure they are straight before you leave - they don't get any better on the ride lol.
     
    cke and tiddlytanker Thank this.
