Onions...

Thanks for that info. I suspected that was the case. Having to do unplanned stops to mess around with the tarps, especially when I get further east isn't for me. I prefer to keep my anxiety levels as low as I can. Maybe when flatbed loads are less plentiful ill force myself to do one but for now I will pass I think

 

If you do take one please keep in mind that they can settle slow. You may tighten up the straps more on the 3rd check than the first.

 

Ha!

 

I've wondered if it would have been just the same not to retighten them and just let them go soft as long as there's no flopping... I delivered with a guy that said this is all he does. He had a side kit and threw one strap across the front and one across the back. Sure seems better to me haha.

 

Passed by a broken down flatbed today that had a load of onions on I-44. That's gotta be a nightmare situation with a load of onions/produce? I wonder how long can those things last before spoiling/rotting?

 

That is a nightmare scenario. I've got a load of them right now.

 

I did onions once on a flatbed. Took 3 days to get the smell off of me. I refuse to hall anything that grows on a flatbed anymore.
