This is what I use year round. I don't like having to fight so much material when I'm securing a load. Split Leather Work Gloves with Flex Back...
My thoughts, exactly. First thing that came to mind was the change in fuel blends to winter.
The point isn't attitude or operation. It's analyzing the results. The above posts show how worthless the process is with people waving around...
Well, because the guy with the temp gun controls your access to the load. If he has a chip on his shoulder and you look at him wrong, no access...
That's where mine go. I manage to get them in my 3ft x 18" boxes. Oh, and don't try to cut corners with plastic boxes. I just learned that...
Those are more great reasons I don't swing doors. (which is also why I posted this in the FLATBED forum) I know where the chicken leftovers...
I worked for a company that P&S bought out. I think they were being used as a tax write-off. P&S wouldn't share any resources or loads, but used...
You are correct on the operation, however, the skills necessary to interpret the machine is where the difference is. A qualified medic is better...
My argument with the temp checks is they are being done by unqualified personnel. If you are not medically certified, you have no business making...
Good point on the mesh tarps. I've been looking at them a lot lately, My most common load from home is wood pellets, and they need wind...
Ugh, it's getting so you don't want to be on the road around any other drivers anymore. It's like parking at a truckstop. You avoid parking next...

from what I remember of hauling Costco loads (back in the dark ages before I became enlightened and moved to flatbed), the Costco stores were very...
I bought a house on acreage in MS, own all my vehicles and toys, etc. I also own my truck and trailer. Right now, we are looking at a second...
I hauled a load of crane mats to Houston. They unloaded me directly to their waiting work trucks, then I pulled to the next stop where they swept...
RIsk assessment is a continuous process. Everything we do incurs risk. Rolling a tarp=risk, throwing a strap=risk, walking on your flatbed=risk,...
That is pretty much how I mounted my Champion. Except, I used u-bolts to secure it to the catwalk. Without a box over it however, it was...
I have a 3 piece set of 8ft lumber tarps and a 16x16 "coil tarp" that I use as a smoke tarp. They are all stored in boxes on the trailer. I tarp...
Most brokers don't seem to care. I am rocking in your same boat since I reinstated my authority. I have run into one broker who wouldn't give me...
@Hurst Hurst has a great system and has written about it several times. Beautiful custom box for the generator and gas cans. I loved having my...
