    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Been trucking OTR almost 32 years. Pulling 53' reefers just over 26 years. A few years into reefers, the company needed to expand faster than they could buy trailers. So the rented some. At the time, they could only rent 48s. Man, I had so much trouble backing the 48s. Never pulled flats or spread axles. Hats off to you.

  • @thatitaliantrucker140

    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
