    150 is pretty heavy, so when you tarp a load do you start from the top of the load, if so it must be fairly sketchy getting that big old dirty tarp to the top n the first place, i guess no matter where you start from you have to get it on the trailer to start with. It must be some kinda workout:biggrin_25514:

    Im thinking if i had to work with dirty tarps in all kinds of weather conditions, on slippery surfaces without the benefit of a shower afterwards, I might be tempted to say no tarps for me either:yes2557:

    me to. I was just giving him a hard time. I had to pull into an icy service plaza on the pennsylvania turnpike northeast extension (476) yesterday to climb inside my 75 degree reefer and see if the floor was dry enough to precool yesterday. Ooh that trailer felt so good. Coulda stayed in there all day! (turned it on heat full blast to dry it out after washout) But steppign onto the DOT bumper with my other foot on slipperyness, kinda scary.. :eek:

    And even worse, i climbed in there and realized blue beacon did a #*%*tty job washign it out. There was white semi-solid goo in some of the air slots in the floor. Ick! No clue what it was.

    And since i run dry van, i really didnt expect to have to precool trailers on this job.LOL...

    Back to the original topic I am a big believer in positive thinking. You must really believe in yourself and abilities to make things happen in like. A great speaker to help you with this type of positive thinking is Tony Robbins. He is definitely someone you could listen to for hours in your truck and get motivated.
     
    Baack Thanks this.
