sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

@dukecamilo2041 2 года назад

@Jamie Darren Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@kristophergraham3144 Год назад

I dispatch for a broker, and this helps me understand why people refuse to do tarp loads or otherwise need more on the rate. Thank you for your work!!

@JustTheFacts317 Год назад

Yes its a bunch of work and the tarp is heavy as hell. I refuse tarp loads as well because it absolutely should pay more on the rate to tarp

@loudmerchantgaming5448 10 месяцев назад

they typically do pay for having you tarp it, depends on your broker. Some pay $100 and ive seen some pay $200.

@JustTheFacts317 10 месяцев назад

@@loudmerchantgaming5448 update : I tarp now. The extra money helps and its good exercise. Might not do it during winter months though lol

@toddfrench7432 4 года назад

Tarping is therapeutic to me. I think it’s the left side of my brain in action. When we loaded glass it was like a competition to see who wrapped the best and had the least wind movement. 👍🏽🤘🏽

I’d underscore the part about taking your time. I took 6 hours to do my first load. I did it right but it took a while to do it. Good on you Driven. I hope this channel does you a modicum of the good it’s doing for your viewers.

Good video! I remember tarping when I was a rookie, hauling steel out of U..S. Steel in Gary. Best advise I got was to watch the "old timers" ! I wasn't the fastest, but damn it looked good! It kinda becomes second nature......

@williamwinslett8641 Год назад

Thanks, man. I just started skateboarding, and I had no idea how to tarp. I did my best witch it held good, but i didn't think about the sharp corners. So, a brand new tarp with a bunch of holes. Pricey mistake: I should have watched your video first. But well, better late than never just again thank you bro.

@kingtruka2348 5 лет назад

One of the better tarping videos. A good few very helpful tips. Plus, you don't see bedders hoisting tarps like you did. For some reason they avoid that like the plague!

@DrivenTrucking 5 лет назад

Thank you so much!

@jeanpaul6545 3 года назад

maybe because they dont want to throw out there back lmao ?? this isnt the strongest man competition lmao

@bensanders7392 2 года назад

Im fixin to get back into flatbed at age 42. I first did it for about 2 1/2 years on and off in 2014. Then oilfield for about a year and a half. Now after doing reefer for last 2 1/2 yrs I am going to return to the open-deck world with a stepdeck this time.

@BoldBuccleuch 2 года назад

So true about newbies, it’s taking me about 2.5 hours to tarp and secure a 35’ trailer. It’s unacceptable, but it’s where I’m at. I am getting better with it each time though. Mainly, I just run out of gas and get tired. I’m dealing with 100+° temps in the Deep South and tarping just wipes me out. I have to go shower immediately, every time I tarp a load.

@JustTheFacts317 Год назад

Yes its a bitch especially when the freight is really tall. Completely wears you out and then having to drive afterwards its rough ! They should make light weight tarps because the heavy ass tarps is very difficult

@BoldBuccleuch Год назад

@@JustTheFacts317 tarping anything over 7’ ft tall should pay a couple hundred extra.

@jaepcam Год назад

I'm not trying to be mean Billy, but it looks like you can afford to lose a bunch of weight by your pic. I cut out all sugar and processed food and lost 40 lbs in 3 months. I went from 210 to 170. You'd be surprised how much more energy and stamina you will have. Stay safe!

@BoldBuccleuch Год назад

@@jaepcam that’s a very old pic of me back when I was a competitive weightlifter. I’ve lost 70 lbs from when I was at my heaviest.

This video might be over. Year old but I picked up steel channels in Cartersville a few weeks ago. I didn’t have moving pads but I had felt pads all the other drivers looked at me like I was crazy for putting them on my corners but I was the only one who car out without rips in my tarps. Thanks man!!! Stay driven!!
