Especially over holidays or though major cities. It can be a real balancing act trying to abide by curfew regulations and still drive during...
Probably the long pull up Halloran, the long pull from Barstow to Hesparia, and normal LA traffic.
...or plaid.
If the trainer is doing it right, the above situation should never happen. My students gets the top bunk. That is where all their storage is and...
Why? There are plenty of other places in the truck to hang stuff on.
Oh there's easier ways of doing it. :) Just jack knife the trailer, put it reverse, and dump the clutch. You'll have that deck open in no time....
Consignee's are often happy to see me since they want and need what's on my deck.
People say I'm doubly crazy since not only am I a flatbedder, but I'm a flatbedder trainer. :) Flatbedding: You have to love it to do it, since...
While deadheading, I usually don't worry about the hills that much and just keep my boost below 30. That usually results in my mileage being in...

I spent 10 yrs in the Army so separation wasn't anything new for my wife and I. The way we see it, at least I'm on the same continent. Keeping...
Kenedyne! That's the name I was trying to think of. Best bungees I've ever used.
I run in the mountains out west and average around 70,000 - 80,000# gross. If I'm going up and down I-5, I get mid 7's and if I'm in the...
Never really worried about tarping. I spent 3.5 years as a shag driver at a vinyl window molding factory. On average, I'd load and tarp 20-25...
