Those types of customers are far and few between in my experience in flatbed. I'd say the majority of the customers I've dealt with load you, help you afterward, and the consignee usually needs or wants what you have. I've had some that have 3-5 guys helping me insecure or untarp my load. Even had one place where the guys rolled my tarps and straps for me while I got my paperwork done (that was a once in a kid time thing haha)

I think this pretty much says it. I dont mind any kind of hot wether myself. But the cold can be a bit challenging. Like when you pick up a tarped load that was rained on, then froze, hailed that night, then snowed on top of that. Then u pick it up on mon? Lol was a helluva challenge pulling that tarp off at the consignee. But thats probably the only parts I hate. Though loading up in windy mass lowes freightyard trying to tarp sucks too. But ad with any job you have to take the bad with the good. -
IF TARPING lumber is it tarp 1'st then secure, 4" strap last (or secure separate then bungee)?
LOL Had 1'st flatbed run Friday, 'bout 6hrs round-trip @ 78,200lbs of 2X4 sticks, being nervous found myself looking in mirror at load as much as road?Last edited: Aug 25, 2013
