An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

You should be golden then. The pw1500 is about 3/4 the size of a pw1100. Should fit nicely under the end of a three piece.

 

They are gonna video tape you trying to tarp it. Then after they get plenty if that they will show you the tarp station

 

Wow. That’s the spirit.

roll the tarp out on the ground, over the forks, partially unfold if, and have them lift it on with the forklift. Use a rope or fifth wheel puller to drag it off the forks.

 

Amazing to see the different dynamics regarding this company, can’t say for sure but @kylefitzy you seem to be a younger man, could be wrong, but you’re a tenured guy with the company, always willing to help, I don’t even pull a flatbed and have learned quite a bit from your tips on securement, you work for the same company and always seem to have a glass half full mentality, then the other end of the spectrum is doom and gloom. I don’t discount the way @supersnackbar is feeling about the current situation, but the constant negativity has to drag a man down over time, maybe it’s time to turn over the optimistic spoon and see it from another POV?

 

You’re pretty spot on. I’m 32 and have been here 9 years in January. I try to stay positive and pass on what I’ve learned over the years from others, especially on this site. Infact I found out about SPD through this site, and while the member who was working for them at the time is no longer active here, he now runs my terminal and manages my division. Funny how things work.

I fully understand why SSB feels the way he does, at least I think I do. He’s been through a Wylie transition before and I have not.

I do try to stay positive and focus on the good in most situations. Focusing on the negatives, especially ones you can’t control, just wastes energy in my opinion.

I don’t understand the problem with his engine load. It’s light, under 10k, takes one tarp, and two chains, maybe two straps if one wants to over do it. Most likely easy customers on each end, at least that’s been my experience with engine loads unless it’s picking up or delivering at a freight forwarder. And it goes towards the house for his home time request.
