Onions...

I'm just going to assume the guy is saying something like "#### these onions". Some things are universal after all.

 

Meh... I'll just watch some of the English-speaking videos, since that's the prevailing language here in the United States of America, as well as on thetruckersreport.com. Thanks for the useful suggestion, though!

 

I already translated the video for you. Pretty sure it applies to all onion hauling videos so the language barrier shouldn't be a problem.

 

Ok. More power to you.

 

Actually he wasn't pissed about the onions. He was jealous about the reefer guys that were sleeping in their air conditioned cabs while he had to tarp the onions.

 

So a longer, more eloquent way of saying "F these onions!"

 

Did they communicate anything to you about the tarping situation? It sounded like from other talk on this forum that when it rains you need to pull down the flaps and raise them back up when it stops. Don't want to do onions if thats the case.

 

####,

I was headed out of Amarillo awhile back at 0 Dark Thirty and as I was on exit pulling out a dude was pulling in and his onion load had leaned way over. Felt bad for the dude. I vowed to never take an onion load at that point. That along with someone advising me never take onions lol.

 

He was joking, they do not pay well

 

Yes, my shipper wanted sides and ends open unless rain. When I ran into a chance of rain, I pulled the sides and front down. Dry and heat doesn't hurt them, but wet will ruin them fast. I strapped OVER my tarps, so it was kind of a pain to pull them down - had to loosen all my straps, pull them, then retighten straps. Same for raising them back up - loosen all straps, climb up on top, and pull the sides up, then hop down and tighten again. It does add a lot of screwing around to the trip.
