I find this soothing to say that I start my first tarping job Monday in Georgia coming from Chicago. I have a lot of common sense and if this is what it’s all about then nothing is too much to make sure any and all loads are secured! Thanks man!
Hey Cissy, I appreciate you brother. Right side Shoulder replacement in January 2024. Either getting the left shoulder scoped at the same time or will be getting it scoped the following January (2025).
This is the kind of dude I hope to come across in my future with trucking. Only got my cdl a couple months ago and looking to get into flat beds. Not sure why I want to, but watching your video makes me like it even more. Thanks for posting and keeping everyone and yourself safe!👍
Germany 🇩🇪 ! I was just saying to someone from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 that I’m always blown away when I see comments from viewers that live in other countries. I love it. It means that I’m reaching out further then I ever thought I could reach. All love and blessings to 🇩🇪! Be blessed and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
I'm looking to move to the USA from Sweden. I've done trucking here but have to get my american CDL before driving over there. I am considering going for flatbed trucking. Watching your videos I can see some large difference between EU and USA. We rarely if ever tarp, I've never done it, rarely see anyone that does. We use a different strap system also, so I have plenty to learn and study before getting to work in the USA. Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful.
I'm getting into flat bedding with the company I've been with and I definitely picked up a few tricks watching you. Thank you putting this video out there
For us new ppl who want to get into Flat bedding. This video was Very instructional. I can go into a company with confidence as to how to tie down. Keep them coming..... Again. Thank You.
Choice M.A.S. - Question: Running the bungies around the outside of the rail rather than completely through them, is that a preference thing or how you were trained?
Just subscribed! The best flatbed cargo securement videos I’ve seen yet. All business, no fluff, yet entertaining and enlightening. I have a feeling you would be a great mentor.
I got to say it's nice to see someone take pride in their work these days and I too agree there's no such thing as over securing a load.My theory is if god forbid the truck goes over I want that load to stay put.In all the years I've done towing I've seen WAY too many loads shift big time ;-)
+SouthJerseySound hey Jersey I appreciate that. I have some more of these coming soon. I had to teach myself as well, as they sent me out with a curtainsider for training. It's been quite a journey, and I love learning more and more as I go. Thanks for the comment, thanks for watching!
I've had a small load detach before (just a 16ft brush trailer), no injuries or problems thank God, but it all happened because I listened to my boss......needless to say lesson learned and I refuse to haul anything if I don't feel it's done right and safe. I never want to live through that ever again.
@@Twisted86 I've seen that happen too many times. The worst part is that when shit goes wrong the person who was like that's good enough turned around and tossed the guys under the bus to save their own ass.
I go to orientation on monday for flatbed, coming from the food service side. I'm definitely going to be studying your videos! Gotta make sure my securement and tarp game is on point! Appreciate your time and putting out this content bro!
Hey man thank you for the comment and thanks for watching. If there’s anything I can help with feel free to shoot me an email. Good luck in all that you do brother and be SAFE! 👊🙏💯
Thank you for taking your time and making this video. It looks like you're really good at what you're doing and I learned few things. I'm starting my first day tomorrow as a flatbed driver, so I have no idea how all this stuff works, but this should help!
Absorb as much as you can from everything you can. Not only in flatbed but in LIFE! Peace bro. Keep me posted and any question or suggestions for videos you’d like to see let me know.
@@choicemas yea thanks for the live demonstration for the straps. Really helped me with my first load. Straps were really tight and I didnt have to tight them that often. Tomorrow I'm getting 2 loads that needs tarping... I'm so clueless with tarping....
Des, I appreciate you bro. It’s not rocket science. I alway tell the newcomers… don’t over think it and I’m time, you WILL lock down you methodologies. After that it’s work, but it’s a cakewalk.
Good to see the Bro still doing his thing yes sir respect 💯 and keep it going looks like the master has arrived continue to teach ,strive for perfection knowledge knowledge
@@choicemas thinking about getting my hands on the flatbed thing bro I know who to holla at with any questions and concerns thanks beloved and keep building
Choice MAS?? Great Video....Keep up the good work....I enjoy your securement videos....step by step...to make that load...legal and safe...so I thank you....great video
#RESPECT Peace and Thank you. I really appreciate it. Congrats on your new move and if there’s anything I can do, let me know. Thanks again for the support and the comment.
Little tip. Get some wool blankets. I use them just for loads like these. It help 100% to keep the pipe from tearing up the tarps. Actually I use them on every steel load that requires tarps.
AYE CHOICE! AYE YO CHOICE! ITS YA BOY MAN. ITS ME BIG TIME MEN. WYA IVE BEEN WAITEN OUT HERE BRO. hope everything good big homie ain't heard from you in a while. just waven a hand. ALL THE TIME
Thanks for sharing. I just got my Class A CDL in October with all my endorsements (Double-Triples, Tankers, HazMat, etc.), and I start my first trucking gig on Saturday as a Flatbed Company Driver (#FlatbedGang!, LOL). I'm pretty worried about all the tying down, strapping down, chaining down, and all the tarping down, haha. I know they're gonna teach me all that, but I'm worried I'll mess up or not learn it fast enough. With all that said, your video was very informative. I like that you rarely made any cuts in the video and, for the most part, kept it raw from start to finish. I subscribed, and look forward to watching the other videos you have available.
Yea sir. The padding was old tarp. I use old tarps cut up, Astro turf cut in to pieces, as well as felt pads. Those are my preferences for edge protectors under tarps and straps.
Man I spent so much time at that plant. The trucking company around the corner is who I used to drive for. We hauled a lot out of there. Almost every load came out of there. Gave up flatbed for car hauling and I miss flatbedding every day... when I saw you were loading in Wheatland PA I had to watch, makes me feel like I'm there doing it. Great job my man 🤙
Securing loads different for everyone but love the ideas. I go long folds to not bunch up the winch and add as a possible edge protecter on short height loads everybody got they're methods as long it's legal. Double belly strap a good look 👌
This my early years when I was teaching myself how to flatbed. I could find and point out some things I’d do different today for sure. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Stay fresh.
Just subscribed to your channel im about to go to roehl in wisconsin in a few weeks and was told they were gonna put me in flat bed fleet. Amazing how its done roehl pays great for this. Its their top paying fleet.
Thank you for watching. Truly appreciate it. Vids are just my growth in this trade. This vid was actually my very first year in trucking. Anything I can do to help, let me know.
I can’t tell you how much these videos are helping me. I just graduated from securement training with Lonestar Transportation and trust me when I say it’s hard(er) to find vids on proper securement through RUclips. Hoping I can make vids like this once I get around to doing Oversized in the next few months. Great work!!!
Yeah it wasn’t all his fault though. Trying to satisfy another driver was his first mistake. Keep me posted and best of luck. Stay focused and you WILL make it happen!
Paul Whitear hey thanks Paul, and thanks for watching. More videos to come. Hope you subscribed. And wow, all the way in the UK, that's cool. I'll tell my daughters godfather that as he's from Manchester. *sheeting 👊🏼
Hey thanks. This was the first securement video I ever made. Wild when I revisit and see the growth. So many things I should’ve, Could’ve, done but just didn’t have the knowledge then. Thanks again and thanks for taking the time out to watch and leave a comment. Stay blessed. 💯🙏🏼👊
I started to comment about turning the bungee hooks facing outward and as I was typing it, you actually wrote that on the screen and said it too! Lol... but at first, they were facing in, against the tarp. Lolol. Great video though bro, got me wanting to record my securement and tarping techniques. I mean I have a Gopro and I do it everyday.....hmmm🤔
Never! Great question. Did you see my video about never having to worry again about where to throw your straps? ruclips.net/video/t0XGyde0JLQ/видео.htmlsi=ljYfLZIVDXIamfZW
Few questions for you. Why did they have you use straps on that load as opposed to chains? Also once the tarp is secured and you're going down the road how are you able to check your straps and or chains with a tarp covering everything? In other words when you stop the make sure the load didn't shift or the straps to not loosen up how do you check on them and or tighten them up with everything tarps down?
Chains can damage some metals. You check the tension of the straps at the wenches. The wenches are not covered by the tarp. They are under the flatbed. Load shift? If you’re securement is on point and you drive your truck safely you will not have any loadshifts. I’ve been out for 2.5 years and have never had a load shift.
I've been waiting a long time to find a belly wrap video, i call it choke strap is a very efficient way for spring ride trailers in vibrating roads to prevent loads from shifting. Two question why don't you throw the tail of strap back to the other side since tail is plenty long on the regular strapping and if its too short take the short cut through center. I'm curious to see your answers on what you do with a tail well over a foot to become tailless without folding it once all tightened.

These videos are so precise and such attention to detail, best channel for Flatbed Trucking by far , no other RUclipsr does it like you 💪🏾
Truly appreciate the love! Stay fresh brother all the time. 🔥💯🙏🏼
Just started flat bed a week ago. I can tell you take pride in your work. Thank you for this it will help me level up 💪

Excellent job. I agree, there is no such thing as an over-secure load. Stay safe and continue doing what you're doing.
Thanks A lot MB I appreciate that, and thanks for watching!!
Bit overboard using straps im truck driver i carry bigger loads than that using half of straps what the fuck you on hour rate
Oh hey!! You're one of those "super truckers" I keep hearing about!! Awesome!! Now I see why every one hates them!
I’ve been known to over secure a load anyway better to over secure than under
Much respect to you flatbed guys
yes i am starting Flatbed in two weeks

40 years flatbedding. Retired 8 years ago. Never seen a tarp machine like that. Slick.

Nice to see a RUclips video of load securement and tarping by someone that actually knows what he is doing.

Thank you for watching. I haven’t done step by step vids anymore because I was told they are too long. What do you think?
I secure my loads as if loved ones are driving around me.
You have to, there’s no other way but the wrong way. Thanks for watching
That is a super job doing the tarps. Be safe!
Dawn M Thanks Dawn 👍🏼
Great content man really appreciated!
Thank you brother. 🙏🏼
Thats a lot of work lol but i must get into this business! Thanks for the video!
Looks like more than it is because this was the beginning of my career. I can secure and tarp this load now in 30-45 minutes.
Thank you for this…I’m teaching myself to do this thank god for you tube… appreciate the lesson bud

Yea nice job I love pulling flatbed. Been doing it for 19 years. But one the thing I learned. Less bungees. Is the way the to go

Wish ALL places had tarping stations like this lol!
+dave williams Hell yeah, you and me both Dave. 👊🏼
I'm assuming most tarping is done by hand?? Without the tarp lifting mechanism??
@@jixter_boy2452 yes 99.9%
That Tarp station is really nice .They didn't have anything like that when I was trucking. Back in the 60s and 70s

That intro is pretty dope
The beginning of the video I remember when I was with my dad we got the same load and we had to use Chains because they was still hot
So far so good
Slip it through then turn backwards strapgame learning! 😮

+Pittsburgh kid 412 thank Pittsburgh, appreciate ya! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. More videos like this one coming too.
Few questions for you. Why did they have you use straps on that load as opposed to chains? Also once the tarp is secured and you're going down the road how are you able to check your straps and or chains with a tarp covering everything? In other words when you stop the make sure the load didn't shift or the straps to not loosen up how do you check on them and or tighten them up with everything tarps down?
Chains can damage some metals. You check the tension of the straps at the wenches. The wenches are not covered by the tarp. They are under the flatbed. Load shift? If you’re securement is on point and you drive your truck safely you will not have any loadshifts. I’ve been out for 2.5 years and have never had a load shift.
Hello friend wonderful Job how many LBC each Tarp cargo cover ?
Thank you. Thank you. They weigh in about 75lbs when they are dry. If think.
I've been waiting a long time to find a belly wrap video, i call it choke strap is a very efficient way for spring ride trailers in vibrating roads to prevent loads from shifting. Two question why don't you throw the tail of strap back to the other side since tail is plenty long on the regular strapping and if its too short take the short cut through center. I'm curious to see your answers on what you do with a tail well over a foot to become tailless without folding it once all tightened.
That’s cool y’all have a machine that helps tarp
