Tarping a tall load

It's Crete's flatbed group.

To their credit, less than 10% of their loads use a tarp. They try to keep away from it.

They have a lot of longer runs. So while I may have been tossed in the fire... once I finally get it all straightened out... kinda sorta.. I get a lot of driving.

And the first time I get something new, it's all the drama. After that it's a piece of cake once I get it again.

I really, really wish I could just scratch California off of my map, though.

 

I am not sure, actually.

Before I got that tarp load, I rejected the load before that. I was on the AZ border with only 6 hours left on cycle duty. They dispatched me to Long Beach, I'm guessing that port down there.

Well I didn't want to drive around LA all night with negative hours trying to find a place to park. So I rejected it. They accepted it. They said, "I could have made it." But they didn't press me.

I got my reset then that was the load I got instead. Still had to go to LA and I had to tarp. Lol

 

I knew exactly what was probably going to happen. I would make it there, get loaded, and then I'd be driving all over the place.

I don't know of anywhere to park in the LA valley at all. So I'd head to Ontario. More than likely those truck stops would be full by the time I got there, dealing with Friday evening rush hour.

So what then? I guess I would have to get on I15 and start up the mountain all while racking up illegal hours.

Yeah...ok... that was a hard NO. I'm not that new.

 

My rain gear works pretty good. As soon as I put it all on, it stops raining.

I'm going to have to ask the manufacturers how they figured that out.
