    nice truck flatbedn. saw one like that when i passed through arkansas. didnt happen to be you this morning did it? from the looks of thr weather doesnt seem like it.

    speaking of those loads, ive seen many pipe/tube loads when im parked somewhere and see the tubes/pipes leaning to one side! haha its funny looking. guess not everyone thinks alternating pull is important.

    i found a more local gig doing the same as you mentioned recently...curtainside/covered/step/flats lots of od/oversize. i asked some q's but they want me to at least have a year. ill have a year in march. more of what id like to do depending on their rate i may join.

    Our trailers have all the winches on the driver side so we don't use alternating pull but these loads are chocked and banded so it won't lean.

    I remember one load i had at greenheck. sat on the deck outside in the wintertime and everything was ice. Units were so light they kept sliding everytime I tried to secure. Was a pain in the patooty...lol

    I almost preferred going to wasau tile instead.

    They aactually loader this right so stops are easy to get to. Light as heck too, have a random box that's riding shotgun with me. I'm all ready 6 hours into my 10 so I'm staying here and leaving around 2 or 3 to avoid Chicago mess. Only 950 miles to first stop and I called and said no early delivery, so I got til Thursday at 7.
