Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

The curved ones just hit different

 

You could use that one in that carrot commercial.

 

I think I need a couple days off after this load. My patience is running thin.. 9 hours to load this crap.. I'll take crushed cars everyday of the week and twice on sunday

 

Feeling very similar to you about my own company. Short runs with a lot of securement, tarps and low miles.

 

So was it 20 minutes to load and 8 hours and 40 minutes waite time ?
Surprised they would load above pipe pins..
Got to love them pipe yards.

 

But you still took the time to do a first class securement job.

Kudos

 

I'm getting used to this new trailer, not sure I'm liking it just yet. No place to hang a oversized banner on rear. One of the guys in our shop is working on it , he's a good fab guy and a great welder. Whatever he comes up with might weigh a ton , but it'll be here from now on.

 

Yep that's exactly right. And not a single person spoke english other than the office ladies..

Serious questionis loading above the pipe stakes against any regulation? Or just not good idea? I'm not a pipe hauling expert..only haul it a couple times.. The stakes are at least chained together, and I will say out of all the flatbed that was there who had pipe stakes that weren't apart of the trailer, I was the only one to put a binder on them pulling together to secure them to the stake pockets...even 2 of my co workers did not secure them.. Seems like a bad idea to me but I don't know anything about anything

 

Talbert makes a great trailer

 

No regulation on pipe pins.
Just policy at many yards mostly oil and gas then some require padding so pipe will not touch pins. They tend to magnetize when touching.
Nothing on chains across pin to pin. But without you run the risk of the loader ripping the rub rail off your trailer.
Some of them fork drivers are dangerous to even be around.
Two straps on each layer and a belly wrap for a less than full layer.
Chocks are a must also.
Many require a headach rack but no law on them.
