HEY REDD...
I'm not trying to be a smart a66 but from post #1, paragraph 6, what the he77 is a "perimod"? I've tried everything I could think of and can't come up with any definition.
-
It is a way to load a trailer. -
I think he means "pyramid". Like if you are loading small diameter drill pipe, you layer the pipe to where it takes a pyramid (triangular) shape. Then you belly wrap the load with a chain, and strap it down on the trailer.
I prefer to strip, or place 2x4's in between the layers myself. Makes it easier to forklift it on and off. -
I learned to always use 2x4 wood between the loads.
-
Sorry I think I misunderstood, my mistake and I apologize. I have never tarped or flatbedded and I was out of line.
-
4300 miles in 3 days could I borrow your Truck that sucker must fly!!
-
It was a figure of speech... Meaning that I'm not dispatched on 200 miles a day like those TMC boys. I've got miles to cover... And the sooner TMC get's their ### out of my way, the sooner I'm loaded, tarped, moving, then delivered!
-
Once I had to call my bro in 60mph winds...almost took off on me and I couldnt do it myself...anyway, I started in skateboards...and have pulled everything else since...when I buy a truck someday..im going back to flatbeds...###### a lumper!!!
-
I dont pull a flatbed and I dont pay a lumper. I have all of the equipment to unload my truck on my truck no matter what ridiculous demands a customer may make. And it pretty much unloads itself. I've thought about flatbedding before but maaan its a lot of work...
