I really love my job, I got to my drop tonight for tomorrow morning, got all my tarps off and rolled up, another driver told me that they don't mind you taking you tarps off at night, so 6am I offload. Starting this week out right!
On the plus side my drop has a guest wifi connection![]()
Why has it taken me so long to secure and tarp? Help!

Tell that to the mods. I've had a few posts dissappear lol.

So far my favorite part of getting more experience is not having to look at the securement manual for every other load.
passingthru69 and Michael91184 Thank this. -
Absolutely! I would call up my brother in law and check with him to make sure I was doing it right, never hurts to double check yourself.Dominick253 Thanks this.

Yep and having the securement manual downloaded to my phone too.

I've googled a couple things if I've had questions. Funny thing is, it always brings me here. Just week before last I'm looking at 2 empty sea cans on my trailer thinking......surely I need more than straps.....Google brings me here and sure enough the subject has been debated. I put a chain front and back through the corner holes with a ratchet binder in the middle, threw 2 straps over in the middle and peeled. Funny thing was another guy came up to see how I did it and copied me cause he hadn't ever hauled them either. Thanks ttr for that one.
Dominick253, macavoy, Michael91184 and 1 other person Thank this. -
If I get something I haven't hauled I'll typically ask the loader, or I'll just see what others are doing. I been hauling mostly pipe and coils, I did haul 4 Carbon electrodes a few weeks ago, that was awesome.
-
Yeah we get those a fair amount....pretty easyMichael91184 Thanks this.

I've been doing this as a career for 18 years now, and I STILL triple check ask my chains, straps, etc. And yep, I no sooner than get comfortable in bed and jump up to check the parking brake is set.
Michael91184 and spax Thank this.
