Tarping sucks!

You did! You did tee a puddy tat.

 

HAHA, yeah and the poor driver would get nothing but machinery loads from that point on! Tarped loads of Tee Posts!...Loads of Scared Porcupines (weather protect), lmao.

ETA: Most places I unload will let you use a pallet jack, just not the electric ones. I never hire lumpers when Im pullin a reefer!!! Hell I would never make the big money just drivin!

 

Is that your truck in your sig pic?

 

Hey, I often took more than 30 minutes to tarp... and I'd never pull a van or reefer.

I'm not so great with heights, slight fear of falling. One time in Philly, on a nice hot day, I threw my tarps on top of a full load of pipe after strapping, climbed up and started spreading, only to get hit with a mild case of heat sickness. Got my self down safely and spent an hour in the sleeper cooling off. Another time, I was spreading tarps out on a load of lumber in the dark around 9pm, and one of the metal bands on a load sliced the ever loving #### out of my arm. I bled all over that load, my tarps, my trailer, and the ground. I spent the night at that shipper and when I ran into the shipping guy the next morning he said he thought he was tracking a wounded deer with all the blood i left... Fun times, wish I was still driving, strapping, chaning, and tarping.

 

I miss OTR flatbedding, pu load, tarp, deliver, tarp off done. Doing semi local now and when their is rain or snow you have to mess with that tarp at every stop, up to 8 stops , all day and get paid cap for it to boot.
