what i love about flatbedding

Never did roofing as a kid, but baled hay.

When I wasn't baling hay I was working on the car crushing crew. Back when you had to take the tires off. I'm not sure which was worse, a day spent following the wagon throwing hundred pound bakes of alfalfa up, or throwing tires on the rim to the top of the pile all day. One thing is for sure, I was in EXCELLENT shape.

 

I'd say that's tie.

OMG that was funny

 

Pretty much. They both suck equally. At the time I pretty much hated every minute of it. But I'm rather certain that those jobs taught me a work ethic that has allowed me to go farther in life than I would have without them.

 

I agree on the work ethic. It also shows a guy how easy this job is compared to what alot of guys have to do to make a living. I often think about that when im having a less then banner day.

 

I used to work hard. Then I tried working smart. Now I try to work as little as possible.

 

You know what I like about flatbedding? The people.
I got my start pulling a reefer, and this small town kid just never got used to the people on the docks. Never understood why you would order something and then be mad when I bring it to you. It was always "us against them" and I didn't understand it.

Flatbedding seems so much more of a team effort.

 

aint that the truth

 

Rank, you are based back east, no?
You making it through the storm all right?

 

We're too far north. Missed that last one.
