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

Well my load is on hold due to some customer issues. So I’m getting caught up on some much needed maintenance. New steer tires, apu and heater service, and I’m going to try to pick up a set of air filters for my truck.

 

The wife and I are still in Pensacola for 2 more weeks and can't believe the weather. I'm sure it is a cycle but still don't like this crap anyway. We woke up to 26* this AM and our forecast is calling for 3-5" of snow by Wed. We sure are using a lot of propane just to keep the temp near 70* inside the 5th wheel. It could be worse though. Looks like Jacksonville is going to get 1/2" ice and no snow.

 

Watch out for the iguanas falling from the trees

 

Very nice, of course the shipper would make that change about the time of year tarping shingles actually kind of makes sense.
So much for staying out of the snow. Tonkawa, ok. They were crashing left and right on I 35.

 

Tarped shingles?

Years ago, I worked for a guy with about 12 tractors, and probably 40 flatbeds. We were the in house carrier for IKO shingles, out of Bedford Park, Il. The only time shingles were tarped, were if they were loaded on one of the 2 curtainwall trailers we had. Otherwise, a strap over the side by side pallets, and off we went.

 

Frozen Gators and Pythons....

 

From the reviews of the shipper. Tarping to protect the packaging, especially if going into a retail environment makes sense to me. We often tarp to keep things clean or then we do to keep things dry.

 

Give the customer what they want.....
