Last load I had...
77000 gross with 11400 on the steers.
I’m currently in the ballpark of 17 chains (I’m a hoarder leave me alone), plus 17 binders. Five tarps. I picked up an extra tarp recently... I may have a problem. That alone is gonna be some weight before we even start considering the coil equipment, all the padding and edge protectors, all my dunnage and v-boards...
#### I got a lotta crap I could toss.
Company truck is surprisingly heavy.

I’ve been here a year. I’ve used my 8’ v boards on three loads. Why do I keep them? Because the second I toss them I’ll get a load the following day where I need them. Now I gotta spend 50 bucks on supplies and waste what could equal two hours of my time to make them...
As long as I can scale out 42k. I carry what I need to make my life easier. I’m a lazy #### that would give Ruthless a run for his money...
Efficiency is key to the money here.
If I had a dedicated lane and customer base... anything I don’t need would be gone by tomorrow morning.johndeere4020 Thanks this. -
I ain't lazy: but I ain't willing to work hard just for the sake of hard work.Tug Toy, stwik and johndeere4020 Thank this. -
Maybe, that’s the wrong word but I’ll find anything I can to save myself even five minutes of time out here. I won’t shortcut the DOT requirements... but I’ll stretch what I got to make things easier...
I want to pick up a short maybe 5’ tarp with 8’ drops and a flap. Doubt that crap exists... too many times I’m stuck between two tarps or one tarp and grabbing some smaller pieces for the front and the back... PITA it can be.Tug Toy, Dave_in_AZ and johndeere4020 Thank this.
