Great tarping job, it must take a lot of experience to learn tarping skills...Good show !!

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.☺☺☺☺☺

You are very enjoyable to watch, didn't like seeing that fall. Keep up the great videos

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!

Great job Dan nice video glad your ok with the wee stumble /fall

Excellent job and description of what you're doing and why for us non-truckers. Thank you.

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!

Lucky you're okay after taking that tumble. Hot weather just drags it right out of you. Be safe, thanks for the video.

Thanks Dan u work two hard sir. Good video remember my days Doing same thing HArd Work. !!!

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!

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.

nice job on the tarp. I feel your pain on the heat . i work in it all day long . cant wait for 6pm.

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.

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.

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.

At least you didn't fall against the van trailer. Those coveralls don't look cool.

#16513 bungee mania..lol was that a stunt double

Always sucks when you miss that dot bumper when stepping down glad you didn't roll a ankle or something

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

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!

Have you thought about getting a Conestoga??

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.

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 :)
