    They offered one guy that hit a low bridge a midroof. He said no and they didn't make him take it. :biggrin_25520:

    Cute trucks on the flatbed side are a really bad idea. They dont have the storage space for all the equipment we are required to carry.

    A few of my recent loads...

    A/C load I repowered so another guy could go home. One extra pickup in Tyler Texas, and two drops. One in Valdesto Ga, and the other in Chattnooga Tn.

    42000 pounds of wood blocks used to support guardrails. From Sunbright Tn to Centerville Ut.

    Salt load from the SLC yard. Had to be tarped :( Dropped it in Carbondale Co. Deadheaded to Owens-Corning Denver and got 47000 pounds of shingles that went to Glendale Az. No pics of that load.

    Thanks! Ya the wind doesnt make anything better. Thankfully when I tarped mine it was calm. Next load doesnt get tarped :D and if what was suggested to me by my FM is true, the next next one wont be neither :D

    Load I dropped yesterday...
    2 48' lengths of 5' diameter pipe, plus 42 couplings. Had 3'8" of overhang on the back and 4" off the front. Pipe wasnt an issue. The couplings were nothing but problems. Ended up with 5 straps on the couplings alone. Just to keep um in place. Dropped at a jobsite in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming on a dirt road thats covered in ice and snow. Which was fine... til I got into the mud. That sucked.
    Other photos are of my truck after goin through Utah... We ran into some snow/ice... Not fun. Good news is my truck melted lol
