Who doesn't hate backing into warehouses with the sun in the mirrors? I've thought about getting a few of the rail securements, maybe after the company change. Awesome video again thanks for teaching us.
Nice Job on that tarp job! Lol. I like my tarps best when they stay in the side box! Haha. I'm up in MT, headed to Butte then P/U in Idaho Springs to Denver..
SO GLAD YOUR BACK!!!...CONGRATS on the change of company's glad to see you progressing your company the way you have..you seem like a great guy bud keep it up!!!!!!!
Hey Driven and anyone else really, if your looking for tarps check out Joplin tarp, I’m not affiliated with him at all I am just impressed with the operation. They can custom make tarps, like my 8 foot drops have 4 rows of d rings which allows you to secure weird loads better. He also makes 30x30 machinery tarps and the best part is the prices! A little more expensive than Mercer but the quality is a lot higher. Just a heads up to anyone running around Joplin 44 or 4 state trucks.
Good tarp job and you definitely looked like me sweating a lot lol. Yeah you definitely need machinery tarps are the way to go ... be safe and have a blessed day
I’m not crazy about the rachet binders that I have, they make nicer ones that basically lock in place. The ones that I have slowly on wind if they are not secured exactly correct so given the nature of the load, the snap binders do not come loose so I felt more comfortable
Good afternoon Brian.. Hope your Day is going well brother 🤠 Tarping can be a challenge sometimes I here ya been there done that hehehehe... Take care and be safe out there 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a question how do Truckers deal with sunshine? I am asking because I know depending on the time of day it is challenging in a car I can imagine being in a semi. You mentioned at the beginning you had to back in to your pick up location and had to deal with sunshine which is why I was wondering. I always look forward to your videos they are educational and a lot of fun
Thanks James! There’s not really a good way in that particular instance. Some trucks have external visors so between those, the internal ones, and the ability to raise and lower your seat a good bit, you can usually find a good spot.
2 things. 1) Cut those 20 footers into 10 footers. You will thank me for that. 2) Throw those dam slap binders away! You are now a drop decker! Unless you want a ticket for failure to secure or loose your jaw! You preach safety yet you use slap binders? Bro.. Get rid of them slap binders. I do not want to see a video named: How I lost my jaw. How I got a concussion. How I lost my eye balls. How my arm got torn off. I have friends that are now suffering from all of that because of slap binders. Uhg! Please stay safe.
Get the ratchet 1/2 inch binders. Not the crappy 5/8 binders. They have a 12.5k load limit if you go from the trailer to the peice. 6.5k if used in a chain combo with 3/8 in chain or 1/2 in chain. Beleive me, much better off. And be able to kiss and eat in the long run.
They're in better shape than the ones I have, so yes would still like to have them, just waiting for you to give me a price and a place we can meet 👍 you have my email

Right on, I already have some in the works but it’s always nice to hear personal recommendations. Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks a lot Charles, you have a great one
Good stuff bro I started watching your channel from Sammy makecents
Thank you, I appreciate you coming over
I'm tarping my first machinery load today and I'm pretty nervous.
It's 9'3" wide too. 17' long and 9' tall.
Wish me luck.
I love driving out west..just sucks the freight doesn’t pay to good on average stuff
It’s definitely my favorite part of the country to drive in, I wish it were easier to get back east whenever you wanted 😂
Some loads are a bugger to tarp. Great job. It easy doing vans but a flatbed{ stepdeck) is hard.
Thank you so much Z
Non flatbedder question.... Why snap binders over rachet on this load?
I’m not crazy about the rachet binders that I have, they make nicer ones that basically lock in place. The ones that I have slowly on wind if they are not secured exactly correct so given the nature of the load, the snap binders do not come loose so I felt more comfortable
I still prefer snap over ratchet.
You can just buy some clevis and don’t have to remove pins on the chains
I need to explore more tools to make life easier for sure
Most important thing I've learned in flatbed, drink a lot of water.
Agreed!
👍🏻
👍🏻
Good afternoon Brian.. Hope your Day is going well brother 🤠

Are you going to area 51? 👽
I wish!!
8' Tarps.......ugh. You know you've run out of good Karma when you get a load that calls for 8' tarps
I know that’s right!
First
Conway Conway well it's a juicy warm not dry and scratchy 🤷🏻♂️
They're in better shape than the ones I have, so yes would still like to have them, just waiting for you to give me a price and a place we can meet 👍 you have my email
