Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

First time for it, but got a decent load. Too bad it involved having to untarp in high winds this morning... besides, I owe them till next July. The joys of company paid for CDLs.

 

Un tarping in the wind is a lot easier then tarping.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. Why, the other day I went to close my van doors after being loaded and the upper latch wouldn't catch right because I was on a slight angle.

Do you know that I had to get back in the truck and move it forward a little to get on a more level surface! What a hassle, I tell you.

 

Pulling tarps in the wind, on or off can make for some fun.
chains and binders come in handy here.

When the tarp is on the ground, use the chains and binders for weights. when your pulling them on, take a few chains up with you. roll out the tarp part way, use the chain for weight, then when you get the non windward side down, hook the chain in some of the D rings from a corner and across the tarp. lower over the side.
Should be enough to give you time to pin everything down.


should be a prorated thing, as the months go by, the amount goes down. don’t worry about that, ways to make it go away

 

Man that just has all the sound of a first world problem.
Really, you would expect the ground around a loading dock to be flat, level and even. The abuse one has to put up with.

 

From the river over to the range, that valley is a wind tunnel. always has and will be.
them dern canucks like to leave the door open.

 

Is an option as well. It is a nice ride for sure.
when loading out of vineyard, went out 89 and run that way back to 80.
