You need to eat .... A lot ..... Fast

 

That's the thing I can eat anything I want and not gain a #### ounce stupid metabolism.

 

Watch how the other drivers do it when you pick up your load, offer to help!

 

Watch how the other drivers do it when you pick up your load, offer to help! God sakes do not use rope. Use bungees!

 

Im not a flatbedder; however, as soon as I came in to get loaded, I would get out and throw my rolled up tarp on the trailer, purposely in the way of where a bundle of wood needed to be, then when the loader man comes to load me, Id say " hey let that down for a second" in which Then Id throw/transfer my tarp on top of the bundle and let him set it up there

Come on guys "think harder dont work harder."

 

So I'm at the place waiting to get loaded now.. Just found out they have some kind of remote control deal that pulls your tarps up over the load for you.. "You are not allowed on the trailer at ANY time, for ANY reason."

I have no idea how this is gonna work. Going to try to get with another driver and see how he does it, first! I'll post a pic of my first tarp load once I get it done, then y'all can critique it for me! Lol

Are you still tarping it?

 

I carry 150 of the 21" bungees, 50 of the 31" bungees and 50 of the 12" bungees.

 

I've been told that a couple of times and I just went about my business as normal.

I caught some grief one time because I didn't hook into the retractable fall restraint deal. I looked around and there was no vest deal to put on and hook it to. I asked if I was supposed to wrap it around my neck or what? They just walked away.

 

I've been to 2 places that said "You can not tarp on our property" and I wound up not tarpinf EITHER load....not my problem.
