    Becca , one of your best videos to date. If I was a fleet owner you could drive any tractor you wanted hooked up to a step deck. Your attitude is like none other. You rise above it all. Your a great team player, and you can be counted on to get the job done. So glad you switched jobs. I know after you got a few loads under your belt, or should I say panties this new place, ART, will be very impressed with you. Way to go girl. Have a great and a beautiful safe day. Happy motoring and happy trails. Your a star in my book Becca.

      Look Big Rig Becca, your always be the sunshine ☀ in my life! Without you I'm nothing, but with you I'm the whole thing. If I had a business, you'll run the show and you need to know that. But in the mean time, I'm incarcerated and have a journey ahead of me, and that journey is to get out to get next to you.
      Until may God bless you continously for your future events.
      Peace out.

    I notice in this particular trucking industry, drivers are always willing to help other drivers, helping with trap or strapping etc. Really good brother and sisterhood! A lot like bikers, that comradery of riding a motorcycle, fellow riders are always helpful and its sort of thing if you see a bike pulled over solo you should pull over and check if they are okay. Great content, congrats on the new company!

  • @Tlhflash
    @Tlhflash Год назад +6

    In my experience, most of the aluminum/steel coil shippers don’t allow metal edge protection. My company uses felt strips. I feel those work best because usually your felt strip will be long and wide enough to cover all of your chains. You end up using only two felt pieces rather than using 10-14 separate edge protectors. Good job on the coils, just wait until you have to tarp coils loaded eyes to the sky.

  • @tylert8743
    @tylert8743 Год назад +12

    Looked like you secured everything right for your first coil. One thing you gotta remember tho about unsecuring is it’s best to undo all the outside chains first and the center one last bc the coils can literally jump off the racks when you release the binders.

I knew I would pass because I’m a smart and determined person, but I’m going to work that flatbed. Okay! Shouts to you girl!

    Be very careful about on-ramps and off-ramps. A coil load like that has a very high center of gravity. It will flip you upside-down in the ditch real easy if your to fast through the turns/bends.

    A trucker from the UK here. I mainly haul steel coils on slidaflex trailer or euroliner curtainsided trailer which sit into a well. I hate carrying coils on a flatbed trailer as I've seen what it can do when it goes wrong. Only thing is, we strap coils with straps, not chains 😅. But the way we strap them, they go nowhere. Anyway, stay safe out there 😀

    Hey Becca this is probably too late. But you need to set your 4 by 4 and your coil racks before you go in that building. That way You are set up and ready to drop the coil in the coil. Rex. Also put. Your coil racks in the middle of your trailer. Your term syndrome is on the side of your trailer. They are usually the middle mark of your trailer

    This brought back a memory. I unsecured a binder once while unloading a coil and I wasn't paying attention.. of course.. and it slammed open with the handle flipping out and hitting my knee lol. For whatever reason had to get up close to lever it open and bam lol. That pain was prob worst I've ever experienced. Just sat there for a few but had to finish and thankfully was going home just an hour away so had to just do it. My knee is hurting now thinking about it lol.

    @thatitaliantrucker140 Год назад +27

    As others have said, FMCSA requirement is one rack per 10k, racks need to be placed within the width of the coil, so that the weight is right on top. Tell the company to get you a 3 or even 4 piece lumber tarp with 8ft drops. That one is a 2 piece tarp, too big of pain in the ass. On coils always go extra on the chains. It's a cheap insurance policy on your butt. Overall great job, Beks! 👍🏻 see you on the road

    Becca , have you thought about getting a jump suit or cover alls while laoding and unloading your trailer? That would help keep your clothes a little cleaner. Just a thought

    I haul coils on B-trains I invested in coil tarps… best invention since the wheel. Definitely worth the money. Be safe out there young lady. By the way nice job tarping
