Where is everyone?

Well, guess I got lucky, looking at the radar, it seemed the rain band was freezing back toward me, so I stopped early in Oak Grove, MO Petro. Heard they closed 70 at 35. I was looking at the Doppler Radar In Motion on the Electronic Logs tablet and saw the rain turning to freezing rain colors and the signs getting freezing rain buildup so decided that was an omen and time to stop.

Won't be getting home soon, my spider sense was tingling and even though I was told I could deliver Saturday in Owosso, MI, I double checked and sure enough, after hustling for nearly 700 miles yesterday I should have stopped in Amarillo and had that steak dinner cause this load won't get unloaded till Monday. ::;sigh::: the spirits are delaying our return.

Anyway, got some laundry done.

 

Western trailers are wierd. The 4" straps they use have d-rings intead of flat hooks. There are litterally hooks welded to the trailer, they are not what everyone else calls jhooks.

 

yess!! lol this is what i was trying to explain but somehow couldnt ... on this current trailer they are welded but on a sliding system but still in the same weird spot

 

i cant keep them on the trailer either since they didnt put and type of cargo holder in the front area of the trailer.

 

I wish i had those on this trailer it would make life simple when chaining things down. but in the end ill take the extra time aand effort of strapping and chaining things down just to keep the nice new shiny conestoga behind my truck lol

 

I have cargo space in the header...I meant I cannot secure the flat hooks on the rub rail like normal

We are still waiting on pics ... no matter the set up ....Its still better than slinging rags

 

im gettin a new phone today so there will be pics tomorrow lol but heck yeah its soo much better than throwing tarps. i swear that i cant ever go back to normal flatbedding today

 

thought its pretty cool that i got home last night and system transport sent me a birthday card. kinda nice to know that they actually know things like that

 

Loading corn in a snow storm.

Im picking up a flatbed load in southern MN Monday morning headed for Mesa, AZ.

I guess I better pack my shorts this weekend.

 

Raining and 35 now in Montiplier IA. Load to KC
