Post your flatbed load pictures here

Yes the corners are very tight over by the airport and prison where they do there road test... there is 1 stop sign for you not the other street. if a car is coming sit and wait even if you can make it, i have seen them fail many guys at that point, and really watch your speed.

the use a 48' spread with jersey barriers on it...

they have really good securement training and tarp training

i don't think i would call them a Mega carrier but they are working towards it..


FYI there is a walmart just a few miles away that a bus can take you too if needed or drive if you have a car

 

i don't mind a "bump" but if the whole truck is shaking from it i let them know about it

 

I wasn't suggesting you were wrong, just that if it is a case of where a strap can't be used, then it should be fine so long as the securement used meets the regs for immobilizing the cargo. Examples that I frequently encounter are tanks or towers that are insulated and the insulation is covered with a thin corrugated metal. If I use a strap it will crush the insulation and the covering, rendering them useless. On those loads I can only chain them on the ends, and some of them are in excess of 40 feet long.

 

thanks for the info man. they are actually buying me a plane ticket up there so i wont have transportation but dont have to ride a bus either.

so how should i make a tight turn with a spread? not sure if they would fail me for turning to wide and taking part of the oncoming turn lane or something like that.

 

i hauled one of those back in june, they tried to tell me the stack can't come off of the top, the jack wagons nice load though

 

tillers headed to cali

 

Have fun in the Comi state!
