Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

How do you tarp that? Do you carry a ladder on the truck? I don't know, I'm a dumb noob.

 

throw a strap over them. Then You could tarp it, Too. That is How I have seen them done before. Don't know if that's still the same way.

 

That makes sense, looks like that would need a tall ladder.

 

I don't flatbed but some places if they are nice or not too busy will let you throw your tarp on their forklift and they will lift them up there for you.

 

Found out more on this today, was told by a different instructor if you're even considering doing flatbed than to do it right away. If you go van first you'll need to come back and do another orientation and go out with a flatbed mentor. You can imagine how kindly they would look on that request when you have a fully functioning van at that moment.

 

They are tarps.

 

They're not giving many loads now.. Is this due to winter coming on or just slowing down?
