    LOL Bags of stuff really suck. Hauled it once or twice. I usually get suicide coils, which I dont mind.

    Suicide is the easiest way for me to haul um. I hate hauling eye to the sky, never had homicide coils. Coils arent bad, just chain um til they wont possibly move, dont want any visitors in the cab.

    "Eye to the sky" is a pain.....
    "Shotgun" makes 4-Wheelers nervous as all Hell....

    But if you want some fun....Haul OD/OL.....And watch the 4-wheelers attempt suicide.....

    I just dropped off and picked up in Houston. Dropped off steel building at a ford shop and picked up 6 large tanks from steel mill.

    Been to La, MS, TX (multiple cities) and leave out of OK. So far have tarp'd a shingle load and steel coils. On rig moves strap and chain all kinds of stuff multiple times a day. Heat/cold don't bother me had to work in both multiple times....I ain't skert :) oh and how do post a pic?

    They love to drive right along side of you and stare at what you are hauling. I honestly don't get it, but they seem so interested :biggrin_25510:
