    Broken Arrow Oklahoma sitting in the driveway of my drop. Get rid of this stuff in the AM, then head for the yard to handle some business.

    That's about the only way to do it. Seen a lot of guys with flats running onions the last few weeks when i was out west and most of them had a bad or two falling out of the bundle. Saw quaite a few busted open bags on the side of the road as well..... need them fiberglass walls to keep them in their place.

    Fiberglass??? They wish! We ran 5' sidekits with plywood sides. Those things were a pain. I still remember crawling under the black tarps to fix them during the summer. Seemed like it was 150 degrees under there. And if you think a normal tarp is dirty, you should brush up against one of those.

    Everyone at our company is glad those things are gone. Anymore I worry about my guys even being up on flatbeds. I am much more at ease if they can be securing from the ground.
