SheepDog's time with USXpress...

That's great! I sort of wish I could get my wife into this but that just ain't happening.

 

That is fantastic, I know you are proud of her.

 

I have a question about the load strapping.......I never strap a load unless the customer requires it........you are saying that we should strap the loads in a trailer that has not been sealed already?

 

Good to hear you wife is doing good SD , I'm sure she's a bit excited by now thinking about the upgrade.. You guys have a good weekend and stay safe out there

 

I would. If its not sealed I always look to see how it is loaded before I hook up to it. If it is not sealed yet you are responsible for the load. Better safe than sorry.

 

There's no need to throw a strap on every load. Just do it if the load looks unstable, like a bunch of small boxes on pallets and hardly any plastic wrap or anything that looks like it could fall over.

 

Load bars and straps can be expensed also.

 

you can get straps at the shops, and if you need some on the road usx will pay you back for them.

most of the time i don't need straps for what we haul but if the load doesn't look safe i will strap it

if i don't get them back as a o/o i have to pay for them. and ya i've made them break the seal so i could get MY STRAPS out.

 

and an unsecured load violation is something you do NOT want.........
