Awesome job! I leave for orientation at TMC in a week. I am so motivated to be at my very best and change my life. I’m watching every tractor and trailer that I see with an attention to detail like never before. It may sound corney but I want to make TMC THE BEST in the south...period. I see that this video was a year ago, and I plan to match what you did or better it in 2020. Thanks for setting the bar so very high.
Sitting here at the Ft. Campbell Pilot. Literally bought a 4g mobile hotspot, so I could watch your securement videos during my 34(s). Thanks for putting these together.
That looks nice! I'm a new driver. 4 days into my 8 day orientation (new driver flatbed training) with Melton trucking. I like the way those bungies look.
You did real good,one thing i got from you that i wasn't doing that was turning them hooks out.thats a good idea ,i'm glad i didn't puncture the tarps .but them canvas tarp of old was hard to puncture anyway .but if i was 🚚 flatbed i would do that all the time.I'm the singingpreacher retired pavement pounder,i approve this video.keep on 🚚 baby.10/4
Looks good but you didn’t mention those straps that you put over the tarps. How many of those do you put on? Just one in the front and one over the middle where the two over lap? Thanks bro 😎 ✌🏽
I don't miss this part of working for TMC at all. Daily rolling tarps and then retarping the next load got old. Nothing like a good tarp job on a load of rusty steel. The whole experience wasn't bad, they had good equipment and I made decent money at the time but you had to earn it.
james grimes I worked there as well. I was a member of the safety team for two years. I came off the road 10 years ago , now looking to go back. But it won't be with them....lol.
tmc drivers always been making me impressed how they tarp.. when you see a cube load not moving even one inch well thats tmc.. I'm a different small company O/O :)
I upgrade to my truck this week, and will be implimenting your extra 4" & 2" over the tarps + the 5 extra bungees down the side from the top row of D-rings to keep those annoying bubbles from blocking the view of the rear of the trailer and trucks behind me. Thanks for the video.
Back in 88 before I started flatbedding,i was in Tx i met Bosshog of Style trucking he taught me how to tarp,in 92 i started doing flatbed thanks to bosshog i was good at it.Some of you old trucker may have known him because he traveled with his dog Fred.
Yes sir. Tarp a load, work like a dog. Always fun in high winds, snow and rain. TMC gives you what $25 bucks and they charge $125. WHo's the dummy? Conastoga's or van's.
Im going be doing flatbeding this month the question is do they make you tarp in bad weather like heavy rain and snow? Or do the shippers have a shelter to protect the load?
El wray Very few have shelters. You will tarp almost every load at TMC , in all kinds of weather. There are easier ways to make a living driving a truck. Whatever you choose , I hope it all goes well for you. 👌🏻
Good video. Just left the oil field. Have also done flatbed loads during slow times and cant avoid tarp loads anymore so i ordered a set of 3 ultralight tarps from Carolina Tarps. Hitting the road with them Monday, i can't wait to tarp a load in South Dakota while its snowing!!!
What is that yellow electrical light do ? I am 16 and looking forward to getting my cdl when I turn 18 I know a lot about semis but I never seen the yellow cord before
When you are training with TMC do they teach you how to tarp like that to make it look good and not like a 5th grader did it. I did some hot shot with a buddy of mine and we never tarped before and we had to do it a couple times and it always looked like shit. Also do they provide the bungies and tarps
geez man and u gotta be on time for deliver? like i know some times u guys get loads that may be 13'6 like how the heck do u climb up a load like that and safely get down?
watch and learn is what the video title should be , great job... quick question for ya ... working for TMC , do you make your pick ups & deliveries mostly during the daytime ?
bosco358 it's weird when you pick up a load at night but yes there is I've picked up a coil at 9 p.m. and deliveries I've delivered at 12 a.m. I delivered at 3 a.m. but not all the time probably once or twice a year
Man I started pulling flat bed about a month and a half ago local, but after seeing all this extra work about tarping I'm thinking of going back to dryvan
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 that's the main reason I decided to go flatbed. I just got done with orientation and am hoping I can tough it out through the sucking part.
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 nice work! I've been driving for several years but I'm thinking about giving a flatbed a try. I've mainly hauled construction equipment to and from our job sites so tarping loads will be about the only new thing for me.
Axel Munoz The only time I strap it, is when I'm almost at the end of the tarp. Not much overlapping! But if you have more than 4 feet overlapping, I don't strap it.
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 oh wow! I really, really appreciate that!! It would be quite a trek, I'm from Arkansas and I don't think TMC even hires from here.
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 its all good brotha. Just popped up. Was just messing with yA😂Used to be in 91325 the last of the 379 short nose 13 speed cat. Still tarping the same way; with PRIDE. Be safe👍✌
I had a woman at my orientation that did not make it because she could not pick up a tarp. It is a tough part of the job but so very necessary. If you believe you can do it, you should totally go for it. I've seen woman do shit men can't. TMC is a good company. Good luck👍✌
Thank you for the info. I'm trying to get a Job Driving with TMC. Nice to know you may be a future brother on the road! I hope they accept me. My application is in and under review! Thanks again for the info. I hear TMC is one of the best to train Flat Bed Drivers. I hope it's true and hope they accept me into the family.
I answered honestly about an old back injury that I was cleared of over five years ago with zero recurrence. Got answer back that despite NO criminal record not even traffic points. Zero lifetime points and zero lifetime at fault accidents. They are not going to accept me. They want honesty, then penalize you when you are honest even though it is a non-issue now.Hope you got it. I will not be there.

Just tested out and got my truck Friday! Your the reason I’m at TMC!
Jason T Manual or Automatic?
Congratulations JT. How has it been so far?
It’s like wrapping a big ass Christmas gift. Lol.

Might want to wear safety glasses. When them bungees snap!!!!!
Even that shadow looks good! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you Axel for the instructional video. That's a good looking load! Very informative!
Thank you for making these videos to help us noobs! It is very much appreciated!
Good job bro.I’m new to flatbed it’s been helpful
Great job! You have basically just created a dry van lol.
I’m a door swinger looking to get into flatbed I’m seriously considering TMC and your videos are selling me even more on TMC
Thanks for the video, I just started with gypsum and am new to tarping this is very helpful dude.

Im watching this video as I wait on my load.
1st time tarping, thanks!
Thanks for watching im glad I can help
Thanks for the info I'm still learning about doing flatbed and I'm in three months of doing flatbed work.
Love the video .how long from start to finish does it usually take you .I'm in the process with a recruiter to get into TMC
Thanks Mike...it shows me what I was doing wrong.
That is how you tarp dam perfection
BUHAHAHA 3:24 “Shit no wait a minute!” That was awesome
Will be working on tasking Saturday at TMC orientation. Thanks for the tips.
Was tarping hard
they must teach that "snap your finger" thing at orientation.. great video
Thank you Axel for the video, I am a new driver and going to be doing flatbed, any and all tips are very helpful.
Kevin Browning no problem
tmc drivers always been making me impressed how they tarp.. when you see a cube load not moving even one inch well thats tmc.. I'm a different small company O/O :)
Nikola Monev I ran TMC 4 years. My tarp jobs were the bomb. Not all their drivers do a great job. He started out with a wet tarp :(
Just put in my application for TMC today. Love all the videos you put out. This one gained you a new subscriber! Hope we meet out there soon, Axel.
Good job, I feel like I can do that
Excellent bro, ponle!!!
Voy a empesar un canal en español para que me apoyes hoy lo empieso El Trailero Azteca
Truck driver/magician lol. Only if that worked getting to the consigned. Great video
David Smith lol yup
Lol gotta love rolling up tarps in the rain then a week later they still wet😂😂😂😂 lol
cotton patch sucks more in the snow lol
Yeah, especially when you can't ge all the snow off and then a week later you've got solid ice and the tarps are crunchy...lots of fun.
I am not a trucker but i like information even though i will never use the information lol great job
I upgrade to my truck this week, and will be implimenting your extra 4" & 2" over the tarps + the 5 extra bungees down the side from the top row of D-rings to keep those annoying bubbles from blocking the view of the rear of the trailer and trucks behind me. Thanks for the video.

Damn I was 8 years old
Tyvm loved the show God Bless you bro
Do you have a video on the 4 foot drop tarp those end corners are troublesome for me
Yes sir. Tarp a load, work like a dog. Always fun in high winds, snow and rain. TMC gives you what $25 bucks and they charge $125. WHo's the dummy? Conastoga's or van's.
sachmo omhcas I worked there when it was $50. Still not enough...lol. It's a good place for a student driver just starting out. Then move on.
Conastoga's are the only way to go !
Im going be doing flatbeding this month the question is do they make you tarp in bad weather like heavy rain and snow? Or do the shippers have a shelter to protect the load?

Great video!
The Military Company.
Huuaaa!
Good video. You done a very good job
Nice information for starters...... from india.
i am a new broker, keep hearing from other brokers that "tarping is a part of the job" would love for all brokers to watch this video.
What always killed me was why we have to tarp a load of water pipe
$250.00 for tarping should be the norm.
Thank you bro I'm with system transportation and idk how I do the front like that and the back differently
Good video. Just left the oil field. Have also done flatbed loads during slow times and cant avoid tarp loads anymore so i ordered a set of 3 ultralight tarps from Carolina Tarps. Hitting the road with them Monday, i can't wait to tarp a load in South Dakota while its snowing!!!
Thank you for this awesome video.
Thank you that helped a lot
What is that yellow electrical light do ? I am 16 and looking forward to getting my cdl when I turn 18 I know a lot about semis but I never seen the yellow cord before
Not sure if your still looking for the answer to this but that's the ABS line to the trailer.
When you are training with TMC do they teach you how to tarp like that to make it look good and not like a 5th grader did it. I did some hot shot with a buddy of mine and we never tarped before and we had to do it a couple times and it always looked like shit. Also do they provide the bungies and tarps
how long does tarping and strapping normally take? cause i know its kind of time consuming and u gotta be ready to roll for on time delivery
35 to 50 min
geez man and u gotta be on time for deliver? like i know some times u guys get loads that may be 13'6 like how the heck do u climb up a load like that and safely get down?
So that’s how you do it! How often do you find yourself putting a tarp on a 13’ 6” tall load? Do you carry a ladder?
flewnvy right now I have one once a week they have ladders in the shippers
Axel Munoz thank you sir! Keep it safe out there!
Best video
watch and learn is what the video title should be , great job...
quick question for ya ... working for TMC , do you make your pick ups & deliveries mostly during the daytime ?

Axel Munoz yeah I spoke to a recruiter and he said they have a regional spot available ... east coast
I just gotta decide now what I’m doing
great job brother. thanks
Thanks Sir! I'm on load securement so im trying get a visual of what I'm looking for
Your method is good.
A Go Pro camera on your head would make it easier and seamless.
very nice tarping axel
Great video thank you sir!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 great videos
How long does it take to tarp a load and how long to un tarp and roll everything up? And how much do most carriers pay for tarping?
AJourneyOfYourSoul 30 mins to 1 hour. Some co. don't pay for tarping. TMC pays $50.
Wylie pays 75 for tarping. Highest I've seen yet.
Beautiful job
How was it when you started?
Thx for the video brother Muñoz. Be safe out there.
How often(percentage wise) do you have to tap your own loads?
Well last week I had 1 tarp load i cant really tell you on percentage there's weeks when I dont get a tarp and some when I tarp all week
nice video I'm just starting cdl school and tmc is company I plan to go with. I wanna do flat bed to learn the ropes and get foot in door.
Thanks. Brand new at tarping.
Are those 8ft tarps
Thank you for sharing!👍
nice bro ,thank you. god bless you too
You had a little extra on the bottom did you just roll it up behind the v bungee tie
Yup just fold it behind and Bungie it
Thanks for the information looking forward going tmc
Why doesn't the company use Cramaro tarp systems?
This is a developed skill. How many bungees do you have
A lot of them lol
Man I started pulling flat bed about a month and a half ago local, but after seeing all this extra work about tarping I'm thinking of going back to dryvan
Lol its easy bro plus you stay In shape
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 that's the main reason I decided to go flatbed. I just got done with orientation and am hoping I can tough it out through the sucking part.
How long did it actually take to do that complete securement?
less than an hour

Kiddo
Thank you
If you do it right, you won't need any straps over the tarp! I never do and I've never had any problems with the tarp blowing or flapping around.
CONTAINERMAN68 I've never had a problem but you never know
Axel Munoz The only time I strap it, is when I'm almost at the end of the tarp. Not much overlapping! But if you have more than 4 feet overlapping, I don't strap it.
CONTAINERMAN68 I agree there
I would LOVE to come to TMC & have you as a trainer!
Armstrong 3:16 any time bro I live in Massachusetts
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 oh wow! I really, really appreciate that!! It would be quite a trek, I'm from Arkansas and I don't think TMC even hires from here.
Flatbed look like it's fun to do
Its awesome
I have my CDL permit now here in Memphis TN do tmc have a trucking school in Tennessee
@@elohiymofknowyah9993not in Tennessee but they can send you to Iowa to get your cdl talk to a recruiter
do you get paid extra for tarping the loads sir? thank you, great tarp job btw!
Darius Miller we get 25 for lumber tarp and 20 for steel tarp
Axel Munoz TMC recruiter just told me $50.
Not urbiz nope its 25 and 20
I worked there when it was $50. My friend still does. I'll have to ask him. Hope they are not screwing you...lol.
Yo bro, your on top of a load. SAFETY FIRST! Use a Go Pro. But good video. Look away from the bungee👍✌
Thats an old video now i have 2 gopros plus a vlog camera and yup Safety aways first!!
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 its all good brotha. Just popped up. Was just messing with yA😂Used to be in 91325 the last of the 379 short nose 13 speed cat. Still tarping the same way; with PRIDE. Be safe👍✌
That has to be the easiest load to tarp.
How about driving the load, delivering the load. That would be insane.
So you actually have to do all that even if is raining?
Zeus Empire yup so you need a rain coat
Axel Munoz I think I just keep doing dry van but nice video
Awesome
Easy 6ft drop tarp
Great!!!!
That shipper looks familiar. North Charleston area ?
I dont remember
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 appreciate the video. This is my first week solo with tmc. And my tarp jobs definitely need work . But each has gotten better.
Wow thats a tough job!!btw i hve a question and its out from flatbed trucking...are u a filipino?
Adventures of Tsinelas lmao you just made my day no brother I'm Mexican
I would expect more from TMC !!!
need to put one in the middle before doing the second tarp
Use lilweggie tarp clamps
To much work for cheap freight or for drivers getting pay by hour
I just applied to tmc is it hard considering I’m a woman 🤦🏾♀️🤔
There are some girls that work with tmc
Trucker Axel Munoz Ook I appreciate that because every one keeps telling me it’s not for me 🤦🏾♀️
I had a woman at my orientation that did not make it because she could not pick up a tarp. It is a tough part of the job but so very necessary. If you believe you can do it, you should totally go for it. I've seen woman do shit men can't. TMC is a good company. Good luck👍✌
