    Hauled step deck steel till I was 66 , getting too old ,with 2 knee replacements. Could not tarp the loads anymore . Boss said I could work anytime I wanted in the summer time, when tarps were not needed, I SAID I,D RATHER GO FISHING . HE WAS A GREAT BOSS.

    Folding frozen tarps in -10 degrees Chicago this year made me want to get out of flat bedding

    While flat bedding a few places I went to had a hoist to lift the tarp up and over the load. Loved those places. Now I do a roll tite which can suck come winter

    I pulled a 40foot flat with a 1967 Pete conventional back in the 70s. On the other side of the road from the yard was a pipe company. This is in California and the pipe would sit in their yard for months some times over a year. We had to tarp our load even in the summer. The loads would go from Antioch CA ( 30 miles from SF bay area). They would go mostly to the LA area. All sunny hot and dry areas.

    I used to live in Oshawa and thought the Winter in the GTA were bad. After moving to NorthWestern ON for the last 4 years, try flatbeds in -30 and -40 and even -50. That will give you a WHOLE brand new perspective! specially since it's so cold the truck loses it's heating as the coolant become cold again. One of the reason I left the towing industry after half a decade in it - done playing in the Snow.

    Great video bro you got it all sewn up I like it the way you present yourself and your straps and chains and man you are the coolest dude I was the roofer and worked in the freezing cold to many many many years so many times I had to do the same thing hide for a while warm up in a bulkhead on a roof just wait five or 10 minutes But when you strap something down and you think it’s gonna get wet or frozen, the best thing is to cover whatever you strapping down with an extra layer of top or plastic even cardboard helps and then when you get to where your destination is you don’t have anything on your usable tops the snow in the ice collects on the top of yourplastic or fiberglass or canvas tops even cardboard is a big help there’s new things out too called rubber they make moves with it. You could even cover your tops with rubber it freezes, but it stays pliable and flexible. That’s also a good trick to keep your tops clean OK bro I’m signing out good luck and goodbye and I’ll say prayer for you bro.

    Have always said, a couple of minutes to throw a couple extra straps never hurts.

    Great video, thank you for sharing! I’m a flat bed long haul trucker drive pretty much anywhere in North America, and mostly in US. I normally don’t drive through the mountains at west coast in winter time, but nowadays my company had send me there quite a few times already. Can you do a video on put on chains? I want to learn the most efficient way to do it in winter. Thank you.

      You should look into alternative to chains!
      A) Snow Socks
      B) Manufacture AutoSock
      C) They Come in different tire Sizes for Autos, SUV, Tractors
      D) Typical time to install less than 2 minutes per Tire!
      The only con is; certain states may only allow chains!
      Once you start using Socks you will never want to go back to chains! 😮😱🤣

    It’s not that bad here in Texas! Granted, the coldest I’ve ever chained a load is about 28°
