worst thing about flatbeds

Having a,noob tell you how to chain, strap or tarp your load.

When hes been driving 3 days and doesn't even drive a flatbed.

 

Pointless arguments with door swinger of who makes more.

 

I think you really have to want to pull a flatbed. In my short 2 mos at it I'm not really seeing much upside. I hate tarps, I've already ripped a $300 tarp on its first use, I have to drive into some pretty crappy lots, wait times are a problem, revenue isn't that much greater than anything else especially considering all the extra equipment you pack around.
If I want exercise while I'm out on the road I'll bring my jump rope and Dumbbells. Im going to keep toughing it out, but I'm not sure how some of you all do it.

 

IMO, it's really just a stepping stone to over dimensional world. Kind of a securement apprenticeship.

 

He didn't say what is the hardest thing, he asked what was the worst

 

There is no worst thing!

 

Ha, i was gonna say the worst thing about it is i didnt start running flats sooner...

 

There ya go!

 

With open deck, you either want to do it or you don't. If you have to question your decision then open deck is probably not for you.
