An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

I like the J-plates to, especially helpful keeping a tarp tight to the deck compared to tarping around straps fed thru the rub rail. I just hope they provide us with an adequate number of them.


Plus I see more risers on the bottom trailer.

Not to be a nitpicking prick, but shouldn't the middle trailer have some sort of securement of it's own...it would suck to have it slide a little forward which would loosen up the top trailer.

 

Already got my outbound load info. Pick up in St. Petersburg on Thursday going up by Pasco, WA by next Thursday. 50 pc of some kind of fabricated steel products. Looked at the shipper on Google Maps and it doesn't look all that big of a place....but the best part...NO TARPs.

 

The trailer that CNC machine was loaded on had a riser in the front of the lower deck...and the way everything was loaded, it ended up being one of the sharp edges that put a small cut in the tarp.

I was thinking that some x-chains would have been a safe addition, but I tend to secure above and beyond what's required. Heck, at least put the straps on the inside of the rub rails that way they aren't damaging the DOT reflective tape before we even take delivery.

 

I wonder if they offer hazardous pay for this delivery. It is delivering to the Dept. Of Energy in Richland, WA

 

Was it an elevator load out of the Cincinnati area or Joliet?

 

That one's definitely better than the one in Joliet. Kone is the better of the two elevator companies we pull

 

The one down side of living in FL is the poison ivy is much stronger than when I lived in OH. Up there I could roll in it and never break out. Down here, this is the result of my hurricane cleaning.








And my hands are covered as well.






If I look at it down here I break out. This is gonna be a miserable weekend.
