The guys on the loading dock don't care just like the a hole that left those tarps. That's why I hate pretarp loads you never know what kind of garbage you're gonna get.
I used to run a seven axle lowboy. I don't know maybe I'm just getting old is just so much easier to run legal flatbed loads.
I never did find tarping hard at all. Actually I enjoy it nothing like a nice looking tarp job.
But in my younger days I really enjoyed the ODs loads. Heck I pulled stretched trailers for three years. I thought it was really fun pulling 80 foot long steel beams. Drive safe and enjoy the ride.

nope not exactly....
I got to the shipper, it wasnt raining (thank god), undid all my sheet put it all away, got unloaded went back to Toms brook (loves). And got a load not 5 min later this is at about 1115am.
Not even 3 min later QC message (load Cancled) dispatch calls, planner thinks he's got a closer load to you give him a few i'll call you back. this load was suposed to pick up in Mebane, NC going to Dallas area.
I wait n wait n wait n wait n, i called to check in a few times......
4:48pm QC: We lost the load, head to XXXXXX SC....ok thats 9.5 hours away i have 4 hours left on 14....sweet
So I call dispatch, head that way i'll send info, call me in the morning...
So i hammer down, idots cant drive in snow up here i guess but i made it to the Newish kinda pilot on 95 in VA I-95 X11B.
So now im 6 hours from this town....dispatch dont come in till 8 CST....so if i wait till then to call and see what to do...and if i have to go there still i wont get there till 3
so im going to do a 10, head that way then call when he gets in before im out in BFE sc though. so i might screw up my hours, but im NOT not getting loaded cuz i didnt get there in time.
So i donno what im doing yet lol
Hopefully I can get loaded and makeing some money tomorrow.
I understand the winter is the slow season for FB work, i also understand that the holidays screw everything up, i also understand the because im limited to legal loads for a few months that limits them on what loads i can haul, so im being patiant with all this sitting......In hopes things start picking up quick lol
