    lol,God,I hope not

    The open deck guys seem to be "nicer" folks to me anyway...Some of those Stoga guys think they are "First Class" or something....####ty attitudes ..

    Me-"'You can haul that 1 inch shiny processed solid bar on a regular flat mr man..You don't need a Conestoga"

    Conestoga guy-" Mind your own business, My customer requests a conestoga" With a gay like demeanor-
    Me" I lower my bottom lip giving him the really sad pouting face"

    conny guy- Gets mad and walks away.

    I guess I intigated it. Who knows

    It's easy. My tarps are usually on snug enough to see the outline of the edge protectors pretty well. Having said that, I've never seen a D.O.T. officer seem to care if you had edge protection used anyway.

    Hey now. Don't be lumping the LTL guys in with the ones that get recruited by the likes of C.R. England. :D

    I had a roll-tite only day a couple weeks ago. Three trailer loads of hardwood in a day. Didn't even break a sweat. I didn't even know that was possible.
