Post your flatbed load pictures here

You just would not believe the size of his arms...!

 

Few pictures from the past few months!

 

Move a lot of these lumber loads out of Missouri back up to Northwest Indiana.

 

What kind of wood is that?

 

Rough cut. The loads are usually a mix of different sizes.

 

these are just a few, it won't let me upload the rest for some reason. i'll try reducing the size and see if that helps.

 

Just made some changes to my truck. Took of pusher axle and painted frame. Still more stuff to fix though. Tractors on back cause I had to push it off

 

I think I saw you last Friday coming outta cedar falls going NW on 218

 

Man must a been my good twin. Last weeki still had paRTS scattered all over the shop. And I don't leave my corner of the state much

 

Who'd a thunked it. Was on my way to Stuart Florida with a LEGAL load and stopped by the house in Kansas. Arrived home Sunday night intending on doing a reset then heading to Florida on Tuesday morning. Well 8:00 Monday morning and my phone rings, it's the terminal manager in Wichita, KS.

"TM - Where are you, Me - Sitting on my front deck having a cup of Starbucks, TM - Your plans have changed, Me - So what now, TM - Your unloading here in the terminal, going to the other side of town, picking up a 16' 8" wide box, taking it to Grand Prairie, TX, unloading it, waiting till they put the piece in it then loading it and going to Everett, WA, Me - Um, okay be there in a few" Darn Qualcom telling them where I'm at. All worked out okay, the customer didn't have the box ready so I got to stay home another night which is the first time in a long time I've been home two consecutive nights.

Disclaimer - I know there are a few drivers here that have been asking me about my company and as any driver should be, they are concerned about home time. My home time is not the standard for the company, I cannot stress that enough. Most of are drivers are home on a regular basis - 1 to 2 weeks. I'm part of another group of about 8 drivers who by choice get called on for "special projects" and as such our off time is usually spent sitting somewhere waiting on a permit, route survey, customer etc. It's my choice and the financial rewards make it well worth doing.

Anyway, this morning I'm parked behind the chicken place just north of Whitesboro, TX waiting on curfew then headed to Grand Prairie where I'll set this box off and wait for them to put a right hand horizontal stabilizer for a 747 in it then load it back up and head off to Everett, WA with it again.



And since Martin decided he needed a new truck, I figured I would jump on the bandwagon, the office called me yesterday and my new truck is finally ready to roll when I get back to Washington. A 2014 KW T680, ISX and 13 speed automatic. Has every available option from the factory, leather seats, surround sound entertainment center, in dash navigation, Sirius, smart-phone link and all the gauges. It also has a 5000 watt Zantrex (sp?) pure sine wave inverter, Comfort Pro APU, fridge/freezer and swivel passenger seat. And supposedly our equipment manager is working on trying to get me a 3 door headache rack but I'm not worried if that doesn't happen. Too many of the loads I haul sit too close to the rack to get the doors open anyway.
