Flatbed Variety

WOOOOW!! What is that? Is it part of a wind mill?

Probably a light pole or power pole base. Wind towers are MUCH larger.

I would post pics to this thread but I haven't done anything kewl in a while. Did have a backing practice moment last week but I don't know how to post it properly.

Post them up. You may think they are boring but others may not. I think mine are boring but then I have done lots of concrete.

Yup, it's the middle section of a power pole. The truck loading in front of me got the base.

Current load I am under with six stops on it. I picked this one up at the infamous SAPA plant in Cressona, PA. One of my flat-bedding friend Bud's favorite places to pick up at.

I will try to get on it postín stuff, gonna need some WiFi lol

Old School how do you like making multiple stops? I reckon you have a bunch of friends from all the stops you make ?😁

Victor, multiple stops is just part of the way this dedicated gig works. I've gotten accustomed to it - I can't complain. This week for example, I was dispatched on only two loads. They consisted of a total of ten stops, and a total of 3,220 miles. I generally do two long loads per week like that. The ten stops puts an extra two hundred dollars on your check, plus I'll usually have some tarp pay thrown in there too. Most weeks I have 300 plus dollars just in extra pay. For me, this is a great way to be flat-bedding.

That is some sweet miles there I would say!

That is a pretty sweet gig you have, Old School. Six stops is a lot easier to deal with when you have a conestoga, too, I bet. I've had as many as five or six stops with a tarped load. Those can be tough.

I should have my CDL back tomorrow, Lord willing, and I'll be applying for jobs once I have it in hand. I have applied for an office job at a local trucking company as well. I'm not sure where I'll end up yet, but I'm definitely ready to get back to work. It's been a long process.
