    Guys where I've been loading have been really helpful with assembling my trailer over night while I sleep as long as I bring it inside for them. Load and chain in 45 minutes in the morning and roll out.

    Sure, can't everyone?

    Truthfully, about 40-50 minutes on a cool day, but we don't tarp them in the field. They go back to the shop to be tarped in the shed by the city guys. With an extra set of hands or two, it can take as little as 30.

    Not sure why, guess it’s just the type of loads we get. Seems that almost every load takes from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on complexity of tarps to get out the gate.
     
    Zeviander and cke Thank this.
