Careful SuperTruckerDan. Tarping is perhaps the most dangerous part of flatbed trucking as you are aware. Climbing up, down, and across the load can be tricky. As well as the climbing onto and off of the trailer. Remember, Teresa needs you home in one piece, un-marred, and safe. Keep it cool!
Nice sheeting job Dan. Just a thought. Have you considered getting a cordless sabre (sawzall) for trimming the excess off the bearers to save carpeting them .I used a handsaw in the 70's in England to do it.Made my life a bit easier. keep up the great work and I'm happy you didn't get hurt when you fall.New Zealand out @ 9•02 Friday night.☺☺☺☺☺
I remember those days tarping in the unbearable heat be safe out there

Here's an Idea... take the two boards you put in front of and behind the tarp. Cut a groove wide and deep enough to put the tie downs to ensure they won't slip off.
hey Dan, Man, I hate you fell down... looked painful and if nothing else, sore the next day. I hope you are ok! I still enjoy your VLOG's and you make it easy. Keep up the good work!

Great music. Your work ethic is outstanding. Did flat bed for about 22 of my 47 years. Prided myself with my tarp jobs.Then 25 refer. Stay safe.

Great Work! Burning those calories for sure! Smart taking a break. Tarp job looks top notch too!
+ConcretePilot
I always look at taping as exercise. And I need the exercise LOL
thanks for watching
Best flatbed videos on UA-cam! Keep it up Dan!
First of all - take care of yourself! Water up before you start working out. Going to have to look for a hand held massage unit at Walmart for that fall...not to mention asprin
Second- great music! Rockabilly rules!
+Lens Cap
I have everything you listed.
Like my wife says this ain't my first rodeo LOL
THANKS FOR WATCHING
I try to change up the music. I'm glad you liked it.
I saw pretty much all the way through , including the little tuck-and -roll about half way through. Good to see you get back up right away. :)
Wow Dan, are you ok? That was quite a tumble. Hope you didn't take a hit to head! You looked like you were hurting and overheated! Be safe out there comrad! Glad to see you were taking frequent water breaks.
Super trucker Dan be careful and stay cool like always love the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌

SuperTruckerDan just stumbled across toe channel and found it very accurate, hard to find anyone who demonstrates the correct way to handle open deck freight. thank you for your time in educating the novice drivers, and as you probably well know sharing tricks passed to you and useful to other old hands as well. stay safe,stay cool if possible lol. after 44yrs of it I still haven't found an air conditioned loading area.
Always a big surprise when you run out of floor to walk on !!!!!. Those short falls are usually the worst. You have no time to maneuver yourself for a landing. Stay safer out there!
hope you got a good night rest and something cold to drink.
+Bob Watson
Yes I did
Thanks for watching
Great job Dan .
Beautiful tarp work.
Man Down is something we never want to hear. You had me going there for a bit. Glad you're okay!

Excellent job and description of what you're doing and why for us non-truckers. Thank you.
And just a few weeks ago I asked if you have ever fallen off the flatbed. Made I shouldn't have asked. So how did you trip up? Did you fall off the trailer or did you trip up when you were already on the ground? You're in good shape, and I'm glad you're OK! By the way you have the best excellent quality videos. Best trucker videos are with supertrucker Dan!
+Skee Holmes
I tripped in the process of getting off the trailer.
Thanks for watching
Shook it off like a champ, good army training thanks Dan.
+james salazar
Thanks for watching
Just be careful and and be safe You do great job
Trust me when I say I know how it feels to fall off a trailer like that but I was about 5 foot higher and landed right on my hip and that hurt like hell my friend!!!! Airborne to ya and keep the good times a rolling brother and always be safe on the road my friend!!!!
That was a nice tuck and roll on the fall Dan, came back up like a champ !!!
+whatheworld
LOL
Thats ARMY training
Thanks for watching
I am driving flatbed combination semi+calf, so 13,5 m+7,8 m. On load machines, building elements, crane parts etc. Last days swetting and swetting and also once falling down. But no camera's, no eye whitnesses.
great video dan the man.
+Joey George
Thanks for watching
My worst fall came from coming down the head board and slipped and fell between the frame rails a straddle the drive shaft. Need less to say I walked funny for a couple of days.
+Edwin Dunbar
That's sounds like it hurt
Thanks for watching
nice job on the tarp. I feel your pain on the heat . i work in it all day long . cant wait for 6pm.
+joe wisman
Thanks for watching
Lucky you're okay after taking that tumble. Hot weather just drags it right out of you. Be safe, thanks for the video.
I'm thinking about flatbed trucking because or your videos Keep up the great work
I like the way you strap down a mixed load of pipe and tubing. More straps the better. I would have thought you need a bulkhead, though, to stop any fwd movement of pipe.
Thanks for the video, sorry about the fall. Hope no injuries
+Mark Bell
Thanks for watching
Hopefully, you're not sore in the next few days!
+azcactusflower1
I'm doing good

Great job on your videos. I hope that you are all right, because the way you fell to the ground. Your camera was still recording while you were tarping. 👍👍👍👍
+Gene Harden

I hope that spill didn't hurt you too bad. Been there, done that! Happy travels Dan.
So glad you didn't get hurt falling. But guessing you felt it the next morning. As always, great video and the best trucking video on UA-cam. Tnx for sharing! 👍

Damn Dan, be careful man! We don't want your next video to start like..."Alright, I'm filming this video from my hospital bed because my clumsy ass fell getting down off my trailer"...LOL. Glad you're okay. Be safe.
+pgnd3r

Next that company will be installing a tarping station, making drivers wear a safety harness while on a load or have their own employees tarp loads. With "Absolutely No Drivers on Load", "Absolutely No Drivers on Trailers" signs posted everywhere!😳
+MotivativeThinking2
That could be a good thing
Thanks for watching
hope you did not hurt you self, you made a nice job Dan, good vidéo, take care and be safe out there 👌🏼👍🏻

I haven't forgot about your class !!!
Thanks for watching
i like loads like that, nice, easy, on down the road , just gotta cover the sharp edges, slives are tarps like butter , i pull flat bed for boyd brothers, 2 and half yrs into it so far
+David Kornrumpf II
Your right it was an Easy load. The heat was kicking my butt more than the load
Thanks for watching
Yes heat is a killer , i wear a sweat band to help combat the heat, it helps more then you think , allows me to work outside another 40 minutes or more if i pace myself, that usually means getting one full side done and half of the other all bungied up before i need to stop for a break
A hat with a brim would be even better.
When its hot and you are also in ur coveralls, drink more than water. You need to be replacing those electrolytes too (Potassium and salt). Power ade, gatorade or water and an apple, orange or banana and a wee bit o somthin salty. When you feel thirsty you are already behind the curve. Retired First Responder. Your gonna catch heck when Teresa finds out. LOL
Copy, at least, those Tarps aren't cheap and the rest of the accessories. Thanks for your reply Dan, B-safe...
Dan that looked like a nice tuck and roll, hope you are ok. keep up the great work.
+Jeff Smith
I think some of my old Army training kicked in.
Thanks for watching
I like the way you scratch your back.👍
Great job Dan nice video glad your ok with the wee stumble /fall
Hi From the UK, Just started watching your Videos so have a lot of catching up to do, Great Videos, and Flat bed work is more interesting than van work.
Had me scared with the man down on title
Hope you are ok,
Motrin, water, ice
Stay safe out here
There's 2 kind of flatbed drivers,those that have fell off and those that WILL,I been off a few times but off my dropdeck,hope you r ok.
+Jim epps
I was more embarrassed that I fell off.
Thanks for watching
loved the music u picked for ur tarp job.
+BigJim57
Thank you and
Thanks for watching
That roll'n pop up reminds me of a night on Bourbon Street...lmao...and i didn't waste a drop....lol. 😁Great vid as always Dan👍
Really enjoying your videos. Hope to run into one day and buy you a cup of coffee. You're good company.
Great vids. Just a suggestion. There are head bands that you put in cool water before putting them on. They really help to beat the heat.
hope you okl looks like you rolled good
+john king
Army training LOL

Hey Dan, My DH pulls for Mercer as well in the van division. He started on flat, but with rods and screws in lower back, it really started taking a toll on him. We love Mercer for sure. Anyway, I love your videos. Its nice watching the places you drive. I see places again that I used to ride with my DH a few years back, but can't now. That being said, keep 'em coming, drive safe and tell the wife hello. I love Callie too...cant forget her

you ever tarp or untapped on a real windy day like 40 mph winds if not your in for a treat
+XxzombiekillerxX mlg pro
Watch #87 around the end I had to tarp in a rain storm. The wind blew the tarps right off the load
You need to start working for shippers that have those tarping machines that assist you. (LsOL) At least they are under a canopy.
UA-camr Dooner Livingston filmed one, its impressive.
06:22 .. pretty useful looking breakfall you went into, good truckin', stay safe :)
Great video. Maybe it's been suggested before,but if not,here goes.
Why couldn't that heavy dunage you guys carry be made out of fiberglass? Save weight,less heavy lifting required, wouldn't rot,could have holes or attachment points molded in at the manufacturing process,etc.
+Anthony Pirrello
Good idea
If you look at all the products made from fiberglass - airplane components,ladders,just to mention 2, I would think that being able to customized the shape of them would be great.
that's a bit more than a 6 foot tarp.
I thought you just had to smoke tarp it.
hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell.
God bless
I hope your are okay after that fall
+jmerck62
I'm ok
Thanks for watching
Don't you just love appt. times? Only to get to the shipper/consignee on time and have a line of trucks in front of you!
Always sucks when you miss that dot bumper when stepping down glad you didn't roll a ankle or something
Enjoyed video.
+Paul Whitear
Thanks for watching
Landscape timbers will keep your straps from getting torn up.
hope you didn't get hurt dan
Agree with below comments. Your videos have a certain something that make them addictive. Not sure what??
This load was a tough one for you - obviously. An example of the back breaking work truckers talk about at the stops.
Question: Are there certain areas/states in the country that you avoid? Or, will you go anywhere if the price is right?(within reason..) That might be a great 5 min topic on a video :)
+Lance Michel
Thanks for the idea a bout the area I run and don't run
Super trucker down
Leave the tarping for the young bucks.
Nice job all around! Question: I like the 4x4 up front over the tarp. Why not roll the tarp up on the 4x4 and then strap the whole thing down? Thnx.!
What ever happened to your drone? You use to get some sweet shots? Stay safe Dan. Looking forward to next vid.
TRUCK 16926 got a "OVERSIZED" load headed to OK.... 12ft wide😰😰
+Phanuel Laurent
You can have that OverSized I did it a couple of times. Wasn't for me.
Be safe
I hate tarping so, OD will supplement that😀😀
+Phanuel Laurent
LOL see I don't mind tarping
All that for a 200 mile run!! That sucks..
yeah i get it . i used to drive flatbed for SMX never as O/O so im sure the pay is better.
Tuck and roll.... snap up... look around.... did any body see it... 😥
#16513 bungee mania..lol was that a stunt double
Good video. What song was that? My phone couldn't seem to figure it out.
Tarping should pay $500.00 per load.
I use moving blankets where did you get those big blankets from? I need to find me a couple of those I am also a flatbed driver. PS I'm fixing to come to Mercer I live south of Louisville.
Great videos! But why do you tarp a steel load?
Have you thought about getting a Conestoga??
