FIRST FLATBED LOAD OF OSB BOARD | ROOKIE MISTAKES 🤦🏽‍♂️ | FL RUN | SHELTON IC

[@carmineromano7400]

From what I remember, you should tarp from back to the front. So the last tarp is laying on the top going with the wind

[@LifeOfKO]

True. Thanks boss

[@billkelley7054]

Good job my man!!!! We’re working on our new yard, we will get better with the tarping class! Keep up the good work!!

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks Billy. I know it’s all a work in progress. Thanks for the training. Stay safe!

[@niecy1829]

Congratulations 🎉 on your flat bed completion

[@LifeOfKO]

Thank you!

[@mattsprayberry0]

This is why I pull Conestoga yes, you can pull more with an open deck but you're not spending two or more hours messing with tarps

[@TwDB252]

🤷🏾‍♂️

[@LifeOfKO]

Yea it is what it is. I don’t mind it. Ira my workout for the day is how I look at it.

[@penarri]

if you ever get a load to ohio theres a flatbed store that sells a bunch of equipment for you its off I70 in london OH and its across from a pilot

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks bro. Appreciate that info

[@garddog1108]

That OSB has a waterproof coating on the edges so you can get by with using one tarp as long as your rain flap is on the front of the load

[@LifeOfKO]

Oooo. Didn’t know that. Appreciate that info!

[@sedrickwilliams2343]

On that type load you need what’s called a “smoke tarp”. Which is a lumber tarp cut in half…. So you will put the back on first using the smoke tarp then put your lumber tarp on the front

[@LifeOfKO]

I just looked it up. I’ll definitely be ordering one this week. Thanks boss

[@marcusjackson8386]

Good job yo , it gets easier and simpler with time.

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks bro

[@chrissanchez6225]

Good shit bro, no worries it’s your first time I bet you did it better than some vets so keep pushing n just keep learning keep it up fam 💪🏽

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks my boy. ✊🏽

[@kevinwhite3685]

I use to haul drywall. We always put the tarp on first then the straps then bungie it down. Still a good tarp job.

[@LifeOfKO]

Okay bet. I’ll do that next time. Thanks.

[@LoveandLifeLLC]

Tarp looking crispy my guy ✊🏽 did way better than my 1st tarp 😂

[@LifeOfKO]

lol thanks bro. It was some work

[@Layitdwn]

My boy keep doing your thing

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks bro

[@mortimer_snide770]

With 8 days of orientation, you'da thunk they'd have found the time to teach you how to actually tarp - since it's required for all kinds of loads...not to mention doing it wrong and flapping in the wind could not only destroy a not so cheap tarp, it could be really dangerous going down the road if done wrong.

[@LifeOfKO]

Exactly what I said boss. They just have us watch a video. So I definitely think that’s something they need to add to their training.

[@412hwc]

that fuel discount realll lovely shit. i think ive only gotten fuel under $3 once. anyways man. all jokes aside, u gon str8. u doin good. ull get a system down.

[@go_price5031]

What to KO? I think the home improvement big box stores have carpet samples for a few dollars each. They may work better than the moving pads. Stay safe bro.

[@LifeOfKO]

Oh bet. I’ll look this weekend. Thanks bro.

[@penarri]

😂 my guy put the hard hat over his hat

[@marcusjackson8386]

That's actually not uncommon he just needs to strap the hard hat.

[@Adam-Woods]

@@marcusjackson8386Strap what? It’s a hardhat, not a helmet…

[@LifeOfKO]

@Adam-Woods it’s a strap inside that needs to be adjusted. I took it out the packaging and put it on

[@lesterobryant55]

Awww, hell! That's how they are lifting tarps now. I think I can come out of retirement at 68 and be successful in flatbed 😂😂👍👍

[@LifeOfKO]

🤣🤣🤣. I hear a lot of places have it.

[@Austin.8150]

Got to ask the receiver if they wanted a tarp. If not, i won't bother tarping it

[@LifeOfKO]

Yea I see. Cause I picked up from there again and I didn’t have to tarp it this time.

[@sedrickwilliams2343]

How did they release you without showing you how to tarp, or the concept behind tarting I know you learn this with a trainer but as much as you will be tarping with Shelton I think it crazy they don’t go through tarping with experience drivers who has know experience tarping

[@LifeOfKO]

Exactly. So it’s all me leading this stuff on my own

[@sedrickwilliams2343]

You did a good job for first tarp you will get better over time

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks bro

[@herbertbroadnax7404]

Great job

[@TwDB252]

Mannnnn I had no idea it cost like that to get set up flat bedding. Geesh!!! If you was working for a flat bed company would they provide the equipment or you gotta buy it yourself even as an employee?

[@LifeOfKO]

They provided everything. I’ll pay for it weekly. As a company driver I’m sure it’s on the company dime

[@TwDB252]

Oh ok! Damn shame the expenses you gotta incur to get onto the flat bed game. Proud of ya fa stepping out of ya confort zone though black man. Keep grinding!

[@LifeOfKO]

@TwDB252 thanks boss. It’s some work but I like a new challenge.

[@herbertbroadnax7404]

Good job tapping

[@LifeOfKO]

Thanks boss

[@hermanwbarnes4897]

KO, I know this is something you want to do. That look like too much work. You better be glad you are a young. man.

[@LifeOfKO]

Yea it’s some work boss

[@dakotayoung5150]

Last time I was at hosford fl I was there for 15 hours

[@LifeOfKO]

Sheesh!! That’s wild. I was the only driver there that day.

[@ecoluhur2114]

[@LifeOfKO]

[@ceejayepps2]

[@LifeOfKO]

Oh bet. Thanks for that heads up bro.

[@Layitdwn]

[@LifeOfKO]

[@LifeOfKO]
