How long does it take to Tarp a Load?

That's about my speed for the "present ages".

What is this fascination lately with "prior service"?

 

I guess if it works for you great.

I just don't get the mind set on this website that people have to work for the big carriers to gain experience.

 

Dunno, it just seems to be popping up here and there on this board lately.

 

Prior Service for me = 135lbs+ of bodyweight now..

 

Shhh, we can't go there! LOL! And my sons want me to do the Mudders race with them next year in the STL area. I told them that I would, but they had better bring a stretcher for when dear ol' mom collapses. My knees hurt just sitting here typing this message! Oh my!

 

Here's a Million Dollar Idea(?). Maybe you can market the: MO BEE LOSE WEIGHT WITH LUMBER TARPS WORKOUT ..I want 20% of proceeds if that "works out" for ya....

 

LOL! The expensive part of the work out would be getting the used flatbed to complete the work out. A kidding aside, this thread has me thinking again that there might be a smaller company out there that will do a two week training course OTR that will address securement etc... And it would be WONDERFUL if it ran west ever once in a while as well. Now I just need some company ideas................new thread coming up!

 

Talk to the O.P.,she is with Wylie. And if a 62mph Truck isn't your thang..there is a John S. who has 15 Pete's or so leased on to them at 71mph. Now "this" was just a thought without thinking real hard..

I will be looking for your thread..

 

Maybe they have all wised up and changed jobs like Patty said, makes sense to me.

 

Tarping is no big deal. A 156 pound girl that works out is more than fit enough to do this.

There are 400 pound behemoths that can't do up the side buttons on their filthy overalls and haven't tied shoelaces in decades, that have trouble climbing into the cab, doing it.


I've never been refused when I've asked the loader to place my tarps on top of the load and Ive been tarping since about 1992 Of course back then I'd throw that 120 pound lumber tarp over my shoulder and climb up a ladder.

Man to be 26 again.......
