Winter is coming

{"text":"So since I do flatbed and with fall and winter right around the corner. I started thinking about ice and how to deal with it. My company doesn't want me driving in icy conditions, especially if the roads are closed. If I have to chain up, it's a no go.\n\nBut that made me wonder, what about the ice that gets on the flatbeds. How can I secure a load when the trailer is covered in ice, or the load might be covered in ice. I'd imagine with little to no friction with the load on the bed it can make things very difficult to secure.\n\nSo I'm wondering if flatbeders have any winter load securement tips to ensure I'm not going to have a load shift on me. I'm pretty used to driving in icy conditions but this will also be my first icy season I driven a truck as well. So just any tips are appreciated.\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Worst case scenario ask your dispatch to get power only dry van trailers for you(they let you use it for a week or more and pay you to move it to the certain location that they need) but you would need trailer interchange insurance and the main con of this option is that you are being attached to locations of delivery of the trailer once a week as well as the hassle of changing a trailer on a Regular basis. But that’s an opinion if you don’t want to rent a trailer and absolutely aren’t allowed to work on flatbed by your company rules. ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"clean your deck as soon as possible, bcoz if u got late it will turn into ice & then u will waste hours, about shifting the load, dont worry about that, just secure your load properly unless its secured upto the working load limits, snow can not shift it.","replyToPid":0}
