    The act of flagging also seems to help remind the guy pulling the load he's got a little extra hanging off the back.

    At least it does for me......

    The path of least resistance is what led you to catastrophe.


    If you stay on your present course, eventually they will have to pay you for what you know, not what you do. Don't look at today, look at tomorrow.

    That's what I thought. Now I spend 4-8 hours a day waiting to load/ unload. I used to haul crane flatbeds and it was nice as long as it wasn't raining. But on a 0°F rainy day I'm glad to sit and wait in a nice dry warm truck lol.

    I'd rather be sitting in the truck watching a movie during a live load then securing while making sure the idiot attempting to operate the forklift doesn't damage my trailer and then tarping a soaking wet load so it doesn't get any wetter.
