    When we have some flatbed training would welcome all the input we can get. Not sure if I could pay but room, good meals, a drink or 4 is on us.

    OK, be here on the 8th. I have a room reserved for you. Looking at the tickets for the football game for Friday night. Great dinner and drinks Saturday night. All on me. You can come tell the freshman class of Farm2Fleet Trucking how the Million Dollar man does it.

    Now we'll be seeing SHC parading around the truckstops carrying his cardbard sign ... " Will Work For Food"

    :) :) :)

    Seriously, though, this is a good idea, Bill, bringing in experienced drivers. One suggestion, see if any of the flatdeckers on this forum will send you pics via email of the loads they are pulling for the next week, all strapped and/or chained. They culd even add a comment explaining why the dunnage is place here and here and why the straps and chains are placed there and there.

    I'd love to help out, but just changing this week to tanker-yanker.

    Old tom got some great idea there if people will send in their loads and how they secured them.



    How to properly tie your tarp down is another big one.

    Piss poor tying your tarp is a good way to trash $300-400.
