    I agree with you. I just pointed out some wallboard places give you no option if one chooses to load there. I’ve never had to strap over any other time.

    Dtibs, i just threw every strap over my tarps for you at the osb plant. I did have mandatory glasses brain bucket earplugs steel toes hi vis and a fall arrest winch on so that really spoiled it for me but oh well.

    Then you have that bungee thing going on. Like 267 of them to try and keep the tarps from flapping or inflating.

    Not Certainteed/Saint Gobain in Vegas. Hauled out of there for nearly 2 years. Here is a harness, good luck!

    Was home every night but I do not miss that, saving grace being that on same day delivery we only tarped if it was raining. Which is not a frequent occurance in the Mojave.
     
    D.Tibbitt and Tug Toy Thank this.

    Maybe you're the guy who I keep seeing parked under overpasses waiting for the rain to stop.

    No that was never me, though I did get a kick out of that. Especially the Dedicated (name of the company) drivers. Or at least a few I knew of them.
