Here a quick recap of my journey since my first load to Henderson NV.
Well they dead headed me to Salt Lake City UT 400 some miles couldn't figure that out.
I got to Salt Lake City Saturday night, got a preplan to pick up a van load going to two fed ex terminals one in Las Vegas and the other in Phoenix.
Then finally my first flatbed load, a load of I beams going from Phoenix to Hill Air Force Base just north of Salt Lake City.
Didn't really know how to tie it down so I did to center ties with chains then five chains to the rub rails and 4 straps to the rub rails (took pics before I put on the straps) load did make it to the AFB ok however, I had to tighten the chains at every stop.
After that load I picked up some livestock fencing and cattle shoots that hold cattle when they need to be worked on or branded. Sorry I forgot to take pics of that load.
Have been sitting since I dropped the fencing on Saturday afternoon batteries were dead this morning so I had to get jump started, guess I need to start Idling more.
Got to go just got a preplan looks like I am heading for Seattle Washington.
