    Thank you for visiting the Choicemas "STOP THE CLOCK" Channel. I create content with hopes to inspire, motivate, educate, empower, and help others. A majority of my videos are Educational videos teaching the ins and outs of Safety and Securement, as well as the excitement of driving a 18 Wheeler Semi-Truck throughout the country. In addition, I have some inspirational, motivational commentary that I feel can help others. Recently I've opened up my page to Vlogs and Roadtrips with my wife and I that carry some humor and interest. I hope you can find videos you like, and if you do... give us a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button, as we sincerely appreciate the support and the amazing feedback we've received throughout the years. I started this channel knowing nothing at all and have come a very long way, and the journey has all been worth it. Many thanks to you all, God bless. -Choicemas

    There are numb-skulls that would say that you have too many straps. I'd say just like any other good flatbed runner, "Better to over secure every time rather than under secure once and cause a massive problem."
    Nice job!

      I work for a lumber company in Minnesota and we don’t have semis, just trucks with 18ft flatbeds and airbrakes. I’m the new guy and the old-heads laugh at me because I’ll add 2-4 straps per unit or stacked unit. Not because of the weight, but just because I don’t want it to move around on me at all.
      4 months in, and I’ve hit nothing, and I’ve damaged no lumber or property. Don’t have to constantly babysit my mirrors. My motto is; do it right, or do it twice. I don’t want anyone or anything to get hurt/damaged, and it only takes me a few extra minutes to make sure everything is secure.
      I also don’t have a CDL. They all do. Apparently my vehicle weighs less than theirs, and I also get the smaller loads, so it’s legal here. I do the same job, though. You can’t visually tell a difference between the size of our trucks, and our loads usually. They get paid $5/more than I do. It’s annoying :/

    Choicemas You show some very good detailed videos, Im going to be signing on board with Gypsum Express and they deal with drywall, lumber shingles and some steel. I used to work at at sheetrock company for 14 years so your tarping and securing is familiar to me, when I had to load our trucks and park them in the warehouse for the next day to be shipped out.

    Sweet you didn't have to tarp it, roll out no extra sweatin' is always good & a little help from the fork truck is always welcomed.
    Sent this one to my girl so she can see a little of what I intend to do & she can understand it some. You don't move much machinery do you? Backhoes, loaders, excavators...does Roehl do much of that?
    Gotta love the privateer at the end that I'm pretty sure you flashed so he could pass, and no "thank you" in return. Guess since he/she can run faster no thank you is required...knuckle heads, what can you do lol.

    • @choicemas
      @choicemas  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Super Trucker33 you started with more experience than I did. I had to teach myself Securement as well because I was sent out to train with a curtainsider. With that said, I would say to get to know you weights and weight loads, ask other drivers questions about Securement whenever you’re at a shipper or a consignee and need some direction, ask questions to a driver that secured their load differently than yours, find out why, how...etc. considering you already have driving experience you will be able to focus on mastering your Securement. That’s cool. Depending on how clean you like to keep your truck I would suggest getting 2 pairs of boots. One for the rough and rugged nasty weather (the pair you don’t want in your truck and your sleeper) and another pair for the fair weather dry and paved customers (the ones you don’t mind wearing in your truck lol. A damn good pair of gloves too! Prep for the winter! 👍🏼👊🏼
