    The cold and snow I can handle. I know how to dress for it and have 7 pairs of gloves, wet ones go on the passenger side dash to dry. What frustrates the living hell out of me is throwing straps in high winds. I am grateful that most loaders will help me, like with hay, they will give me a ride up so I can get them lined up and they will feed them thru the winch to keep them there.

    I have hauled everything but cattle on a flat deck. (couldn't keep the belts tight.) When ya pull off your tarps and they just stand there you know you are in for a long day. You will be dirty, tired and late, but you never know what kind of **** your dispatcher has for you next. Being able to figgur out how to load it and deliver it, is what keeps you going.
     
    Justanotherguy Thanks this.

    Shouldn't be a problem there. Use the knot tying skills you acquired in the boy scouts to tie their tails on one side of the trailer, and their heads on the other.

    Sheesh, ya have to spell it out for the canucks. . .:biggrin_25526:
