Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Appreciate the comments on securing ...don't feel very confident it's right

 

Last week loads not sure if posted .. again pls critic if something wrong not right or someone would do it better , would like as much info to gain proper experience and knowledge....
Only 3 months in step deckiing and just 4th week flatbedding

 

Finally , after 2 loads cancled this morning got a load of rolled wire out of st joseph to north dakota...deliver friday morning...was gonna post a pic but phone memory is low...

 

Interesting. Shipping a track frame from what looks to be about a 20 metric ton machine. Was it going to a manufacturer of specialty equipment like a track mounted jaw or screen?

In retrospect probably not as they usually aren't that wide.

 

Delivered to facility that assemle cranes ...I think these tracks I delivered were for the smallest crane after looking around

 

Oof. I feel for ya. They're a huge pain in the donkey to deal with as a broker, too.

 

This is my typical haul when I'm not running it.

 

This was going to be my second move today but threw a track half way up the ramps. Got it backed down then had to pick up the front of the trailer and swing it over so I could hook back up to it.

 

My load to wyoming and back to IL.

 

Felt like I was going to die today....

I delivered in the morning after driving through rush hour traffic in Washington, then booked it to Norfolk VA for my next load. I did not get a chance to eat except 4 hard boiled eggs (no yolk) the whole day from 2am until about 4pm. This was a major mistake. I would also like to add I'm very overweight, which is the main reason I wanted to do flatbed. This load had to be tarped with 8ft drops and with my less than 4 months flatbed experience, have never used before. Mix in some 96 degree weather and we have some fun! Ended up taking 4 hours from the first pallet added until I left. Worst part was I couldn't stand ontop because the 1/4 dry rotted plywood couldn't hold my weight. I had to walk extremely carefully on the support section only.

After finishing I made it 3 miles and had to pull over and vomit. Felt worse than I ever have from exertion. After 15min made it to a truck stop another 5 miles away.

So anyone ever use those Kaplan tarps that are parachute material? Haha.
