worst thing about flatbeds

they don't tow well without tires

 

I work for a company of similar size, doing specialized work that requires many specialized fittings and whatever else you can come up with to make the job easier, and the only thing we lock is the cabs because it's in the 'hood'. I've borrowed stuff off someone's truck, but made sure I had it back before they needed it, work different shifts, and left a note or a text msg. Just dirty to straight up steal something off a coworkers truck

 

Bungee or a rope from the ladder to the rubrail will prevent that from happening next time.

 

Yeah, he ruined a 12 hour break you could have taken there instead of at home. Their arrogance knows no limits!

 

I think that about sums it up

 

Frozen straps and tarps in the winter will definitely make you want to quit

 

im not a newbie to driving but i really am to flatbedding .
last week i picked up a load of steel tubing in laredo that had to be tarped ...payed well and im the new kid on the block so i didnt complain and did it .
when i got to kansas city they took the load off and put it in the mud ....i could only laugh lol.

 

That used 2 get under my skin until I realized it's their material and they still paid me 2 tarp it!!

 

That happens all the time. Or tarp some lumber and they unload it in the rain and stack outside. Just part of livin' the good life!
