    I've been driving about 8 years and have switched over to flatbed in the last 3 years. I got a little training on securement and tarping, but most of it I learned the hard way. In hopes of helping the newer guys and getting advice from the vets on what I'm doing I'm starting to make some videos on these matters.

    So far, I have a grand total of 1 done!

    Would anyone be interested in having a look at it and telling me what you think?

    Meh, can't hurt. This IS an instructional website. I was told when starting something new, just look at how the other drivers do it, and for the most part, it worked.

    As a longtime flatbedder I see that there are plenty of new guys and experienced drivers who could always use some tips and tricks for securement and tarping. If someone has ideas I always like to check them out because it might make my job a little easier. Post away brother.

    Everyone can always still learn. At least once a month I see something secured and think “I never thought of that”
