Flatbedding pros and cons

CONS: Tarping. Tarping. Frozen tarps, wet, muddy tarps. Tarping in 40mph winds.

PRO: You got a job.

56yo? Already got back pain? If you want to try open deck, think step

 

Pros: NO GROCERY WAREHOUSES! No lumpers, most customers work banker hours

Cons: Thinking man's job. Stupidity and laziness equals sudden death. Tarping is NOT difficult IF you have a brain.

"But Six, what about the weather?"

Well, to the sidewalk sissy types who have never had a physical job in their entire life, and who break a sweat when trying to wipe their arses, yes the weather can ruin their day.

"But Six, what about my back and my age?"

Work smart and work at your own pace. You will be fine.

Luck in battle.

 

Cooler more interesting work. I get to play spider man and climb and crawl and roll in 4 seasons and some serious risk to keep it real. More respect IMO because you have a lot to deal with already and most people get it. Zero guessing on whether or not my load is doing this or that. Pride.

Zero cons.

 

Step as in stepdeck.

 

Stepdeck. Very little tarping and you can haul different loads.

You get the feeling I don't like tarping.

 

I have a brain. And I was anal about ensuring my tarp looked as good as I could make it. just hate tarping at my age.

However your post is dead on.

 

I don't see too much of that indoor loading/tarp.
