    Ive got power. Was only out a day. But the people across the street still dont.

    The worse thing my family is dealing with is flooding. So many roads closed the 50 mile trip to the farm is closer to 150.

    I haul them quite often. so many variances between one place and another, it can either be a really easy stupid good paying load, or a really cheap mega pia load. Do enough of them and you will learn which are good easy loads and which are gonna take half a day to pad before you even start tarping.

    My preferred jet engine load: the engine is bolted/strapped on a steel transport frame, the frame has a zippered heavy duty tarp bag mounted to it which zips up just like a giant hand bag. You still have to tarp it, but its pretty easy and fast cause no padding required.

    The worse loads: they nail wooden cribbing to you're deck to place the engine on and you have to wrap the tarp under the engine so its completely water proof. Those can take the entire day just to pad and tarp.

    Glad to see you back! I guess I would have to talk with the agent to see how they would be loaded on the trailer? Or is it a crap shoot to learn what locations load the good or bad way? First load like that I have seen comming out of CT I was quite surprised.
