{"replyTo":"","text":"Yeah, flatbed is not for most. Including me. I wouldn't mind hauling machinery but I've done quite a bit of tarping on a 40ft gooseneck for a year. Truck tarps is what I used, no lightweight tarps. It sucks in the heat, the rain, the snow, the ice all of the above. I make the same in dry van as most do doing flatbed. There's my answer. Be safe drivers, the snow is coming and roads will be getting bad. Dont be a super trucker. Your life is more important than a delivery. Stay safe.","replyToPid":0}
