Flatbed Terminology

Remember the 'ol classic tune: 'Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener'?

 

if you want to know, just Urban Dictionary it.

 

The old Bob and Tom bit. "Trucker clock, who wants it?"

 

Maybe i miised these but
PLATFORM: Any flat type trailer to incude steps RGNs, Dollys, Snabbles ect.
BELLY STRAP: Straps deviding multiple layers of loads
RAGS: Another 4 letter word for tarps!
FAT or HEAVY: over sized load

 

Where those who wash weenies wonder, never flash your headlights in a pickle park for those special sickos come out of the bushes.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

 

Upside down octopus with razor legs. A hard to tarp load, that requires more padding than you probably carry.

 

Porcupine.

Same description as Autocars last post.

 

Header boards: The 4 to 6 six 4X4's you stack and chain in front of steel bars and the like.

Tripping or Trip Chain: the chain or strap you put in front and back of skidded loads ( across the deck )

Bra or X chain/strap: These are the Chains or Straps you put on the front and back of a load that form an X. ( sheet steel, plates)

Choke: A strap or chain that is looped around a load and secured to its self, not to the trailer.

Coil Block: The short 4X4, you chain to the front of shotgun coils.

 

I think it may be time to clean up the unnecessary pickle park remarks from this thread.
