Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Neat looking tarped load of bright steel I saw just before Christmas on a B train. The guy runs the east coast with a configuration like this. Gross weight around 65,000 kg / 143,300 lb.
Obviously takes some pride in his tarping.

I'd hate to tarp a load like that with all those sharp edges lol

 

So would i, thankfully we are a no tarp company. oh yeah, oh yeah, we bad,

 

The last load of the pipeline job that lasted 6 weeks. The old girl never missed a beat despite the fact it was 40 deg C every day (104 deg F I think). The rest of the pics are here: http://m.imgur.com/a/lo7Kf

 

A few loads from this week.



This one I made a mistake on. We had a big rain this morning so the job site was wet, they took 3 doers to scrape the top layer of mud off to make a parking lot for the crew. Well when I backed in to load, one driver left his car on the side of the entrance. So when I went to leave, I lifted up my third axle on the trailer so I could cut wider. After I got on the road, I jumped out and flipped it back down.

About 30 miles later, I get to a stop light and have to brake and I see smoke coming from the rear tires. Oops flipped the wrong switch and ran that stretch with the airbags down. Luckily or unluckily all the previous lights I had seen change far enough away that I could use my Jake and gear down.

No flat spots on my tires thiugh, so all is well that ends well.

 

Not exactly a flatbed load,.. but I had to share.

I took this last week up in Boston.
I'm guessing he didnt get the weather report.

This thread is looking abnormally quiet... I guess I'll contribute.

My load of roofing insulation.

 

You forgot to tarp it.

 

No tarps required. It all depends on the customer with this stuff. I've only tarped the entire thing a couple times early on, then it's mostly been smoke tarps, and sometimes no tarps.

 

I'm just teasin. Seemed like all your loads were tarped for awhile.
