    Have you ever folded a damp frozen lumber tarp? If that is what you want go for it! Maybe the girls could help thaw it out or better yet just camp out with them till summer!

    Well, I thought it! I guess I should be ashamed of myself.

    been driving for over nine years,flatbedding since last july and not a day that goes by that i dont ask myself why i didnt start my career as a flatbedder.i rather fold a tarp in a minus 10 weather than be under the mercy of a lumper who cant even speak english.

    10 years ago what I chose (flatbedding) was the only pre-conceived notion about Trucking I was right about..As a couple of companies I started out with also had drybox and reefers I have done all three and have hauled milk in a Tanker although..the Tanker job was local about 11 years ago.

    Anyway...I could not wait to get back to the yard and pull a flat for the next run...and this includes my current company who occasionally I pull a conestoga for.Not sure about the tarpin in -10* though..although that IS part of the "deal"..:)
