Post your flatbed load pictures here

Every driver should see this video and rewatch it every once in a while.

I don't think I ever posted these. The moral? Practice your backing cause I might be in line behind you.

I was in Wamego last week, first time in a few years. Used to pull the graders into there, wait overnight, then haul them out west in the morning after they finished making them heavier and wider.
I normally dont mess with that smaller stuff, but Ziegler in Altoona was desperate for a 988 bucket, so I took it into them. Made a nice change to pull a 10k lb load instead of the normal 50-80k lb loads I do day to day.
Back on the blades early next month, so the truck will get a break again for a while I guess.

One day Id like to get into the heavy haul stuff, but for at least another year or 2 well stick with the "normal" stuff. Need experience and knowledge before moving onto bigger things.

 

Was that in dodge city ks?

 

Yup, right down the street from the J. Note the oil on the pavement when I pull out. 90% was from my truck in the 15 minutes I was sitting there.

 

I recognized it from the pancake house parking lot across the street when you pulled out.
We used to deliver to a couple of feedyards in garden city & would stop there on the way back through for breakfast,then head down to the washout before heading back to tn.

 

that truck is old school cool.

 

I like running out there but finding a load back is nearly impossible. At least it was with this last guy. He didn't like looking at load boards because it gave him a headache. Poor him. Ended up owing me 3 weeks pay which it looks like I'd have to sue him in small claims court to get.

 

Good luck with that.We were hauling cattle at that time out there.

 

I took a 45k single coil to Phoenix Metals in KC, KS and the guy told me, a driver from the country to the south of us showed up with a 50k nugget with 2 chains under the blue Walmart tarp, said he brought it from across town, since then for some reason I get nerved up around someone with one on the deck if I can't see the chains
