Post your flatbed load pictures here

I figured you had yours CPape. O well my mistake.

 

#### good out of South Florida. If the trucking thing doesn't work out, I might be able to find you a dispatch job.[/QUOTE]

LoL well I kinda have one, I'm trying to find something for the top deck, no luck

 

In an other thread (even though 2+ years of my 14 years of driving has been flatbed) I had to ask what v-boards were. Well I know what they are very well now! I had to make 8 sets, climb all over the load of palletized roofing tar paper and set my "custom made" v-boards to strap that dang load. I forgot to take pics of the load so someone else to could refer to them. However I may start taking pics of creative or technical strapping situations for the new or interested in getting into the flatbed world guys to see what they are getting into. These pictures of todays load look simple, it is for experienced flatbed drivers. But what the "interested in flatbed" guys need to know is position of the load, the art of throwing straps, the dirt, the heat, the sweat, the time it takes in the beginning to strap. Yes it can be done in just a few minutes if you know what you are doing but it's still hot, dusty (depending on where you are and most flatbed load locations are dirt lots whether loading or unloading) not to mention the climbing up and down sometimes several times to make adjustments. Now my straps are not lined up perfect, my excuse is that I'm not going too far to deliver! Hey we've all done it. Anyway here they are. In one of the pics you can see my v-boards strapped to the bed in front of the load.

Yes and when the jackwagon who finishes before you takes off with his A/C cranked so the engine fan comes on and blows the dust from the lot all over you, your truck and the load it just makes you wanna smile.

 

No worries. There are lots of days when I wish I did. I wasn't really interested when I was younger so it didn't end up happening. By the time I was willing to spend the time to get it time was at too much of a premium. I probably wouldn't have even said I didn't have it, but I am a big believer in putting it all out there. I would have felt like I was misleading people if I didn't correct it.
