Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

What happened next, wrecker come out?

 

Yep that is the most important thing with those loads is check it within 5 miles of leaving the loader. Then 20 miles after that then 50 miles and it should be good and settled by then... i used to leave that yard in antioch then stop at that big dirt pullout only 1 miles or so up the road and could easily get another 2 winch clicks out of every winch , thats how much that crap moves around.

 

I was close to the point of asking for a forklift, but man, the $$$. That would have cost, what, 3 grand?

I spent a lot of time on the phone with dispatch, they convinced me to limp back to Verco, it was like i say only maybe 25 miles or so. My butt was puckering the entire way, but made it safely. I probably way over reacted, in hindsight, but man, the idea of dumping that stuff in the ditch had me pretty freaked out.

 

What state is the Antioch you guys are talking about? Assuming California?

 

Go to the nearest ta and slip the forklift guy 20 bucks . Saw it with my own eyes in coachella, ca ..

 

Yep. Verco rolls that steel floor decking. A lot of it. They're right there on Wilbur Ave, just down from GP.

 

Yes antioch , ca , just west of stockton.. .

 

*shivers*

Verco is a 4 letter word around me. Been to Fontana Antioch and Phoenix.

Tightened one from antioch to washington like 10 times.

Naturally the nearly 13ft tall load would be mine...... The shorter loads arent all that bad but the tall ones settle all year long.

 

Some roofing stuff. Tried to get away with a lumber and a steel..... Missed by about 2 feet.....
Delivering in the morning in FtWorth.

 

Since this is a flatbed load on a rgn stretch I guess this is as good a place as any. Washington to Connecticut with a pizza oven and crated glass. Hopefully to reposition me for a tall load out of New Jersey.
