    i picked up in phoenix. it was supposed to be shingles but all i saw was coil rolls and other fabricated parts at the shipper.

    on the way TO the load i was beetching up a storm cuz i DID NOT WANT TO TARP SHINGLES IN 118 DEGREES.

    and i was trying to figure out with my company as to WHY shingles needed to be tarped.

    so basically it's SCREWED BY THE BROKER. gotta love it

    So... was it shingles or not? There is also rolled roofing, which requires tarps and v-boards.

    If you had to tarp them in AZ in 118 degrees, you may WISH you were dealing with the medical type of shingle!:biggrin_2552:

    BTW, although the virus that causes the inflammation of nerves known as shingles is a herpes-type virus, it is NOT the same virus that causes the STD. Only people who have had chickenpox at some point in their life can get shingles. If one is 60 or older & has had chickenpox, they should get the vaccine that protects against shingles. They are no fun.
