Why would I talk to someone and play with their tarps and chains when I do it daily? I know the struggle, I was helping the OP understand that OTR...
I've been doing flatbed since October of 2015, I got my own truck in December. I work for a smaller company with about 50-80 guys, we are...
Thanks for sharing, that was halirous to read, and I'm sure at the time you thought to yourself "wtf am I doing!" But at the same time nature has...
HaHa, this has got to be the best thing I heard all day!
Isn't this a reason why the government is mandating elogs? I think shippers need to held accountable, today I went to sdi in butler indiana, that...
That's good to hear, I know I've talked with people outside of work and they always tell me that when ever they are behind a flatbed they get...
If I get something I haven't hauled I'll typically ask the loader, or I'll just see what others are doing. I been hauling mostly pipe and coils, I...
Absolutely! I would call up my brother in law and check with him to make sure I was doing it right, never hurts to double check yourself.
I really love my job, I got to my drop tonight for tomorrow morning, got all my tarps off and rolled up, another driver told me that they don't...
The best part is when you start driving you start thinking about if your load bar got put away. My cousin asked me if I had any nightmares yet,...
Right now I'm more focus on getting my securment correctly, I feel much better knowing my load is well secured vs how long it took to save my life...

The load is only 44k and some change, but I weigh 33k and change with half tanks of fuel. I'm going to Fort Wayne so there's no scales around that...
OK so even at 9 lbs I'll be good. Gives me some room to play with.
Fuel is roughly 9-10 lbs a gallon? Got a load and trying to do the math if I'll be good or not.
Yeah the elogs really suck, some of our drivers said that's the end of trucking. If I'm near a walmart I'll stop for the night, but it seems...
Sorry bud, this week sure has put me through the ringer. So this is very odd, but I need to know. When your pulled off at a ramp or somewhere...
I have the app too, but 9 out of 10 times the information is not accurate. Went to a truck stop that said medium parking and when I arrived there...
I am typically conservative when it comes to my time, I passed three truck stops but told myself not to stop because every time I do there is...
I did, but the rest area I had planned for was closed.
