8-12-10 tarped load of Plywood


I took this pic on the 13th. I loaded a load of plywood and had to tarp it. I was getting soaking wet in the rain after I had the trailer loaded and tarps placed on it. I pulled outside and was securing the load. Then the rain came in.

Tarped Suicide Steel Coil.

This is a suicide loaded steel coil that has to be tarped.

This coil weighs 39,000 lbs. and is made with
 a smaller gauge (thickness) and made real smooth.

Fiberglass rods.


This is a very unique load that I have just done.
 Why is it so unigue in my opinion.

I have 4 years flatbed experience. This is my first
 time hauling this  and my dad has never hauled them.
