First load of the day! I actually really like load securement and tarping :)

My God, woman. How in the heck did you manage to tarp that load.

Heck, rolling the tarp on a grain hopper kicks my butt, from time to time.

That's awesome, Lil Sys! Great tarp job! Do you mind if I show some tall guy this pic the next time I hear them whine about tarping?

Absolutely! I've definitely had to be creative when it comes to tarping, strapping, etc :)

Slick tarp job! I actually like securement and tarping too. I'm really anal and OCD when it comes to that stuff. I have to have all my straps perfectly straight and evenly distributed, my tarps perfectly centered over the load, bungees all applied the same way and in a uniform fashion, etc. It's part of the reason why I love lumber loads and hate loads of irregular objects. Keep up the good work!

Haha! Thank you :) I'm becoming the same way, thanks to my very particular trainer. We've actually untarped and retarped T-loads because they looked crappy :)

You're very lucky to be learning from someone who is a stickler for details. That's huge in this industry. You can't get complacent. The little details matter.

Hey, I know you've seen our conversation called flatbed variety. It's one of my favorites because I love all the pics of the different loads everyone hauls. It's where flatbedders get to show off their skills and their interesting hauls. Hopefully we'll see some of yours there!!

Great job on that load! I'm just a reefer driver but I appreciate when you flatbed drivers tarp up in an aesthetically pleasing way. Although it really has no bearing on me, it drives me CRAZY following a flatbedder who has tarps flapping maniacally in the wind.
