It\'s entitled Tex talk -- and no it\'s not a show about the Housewives of Texas or Texas politics, thank goodness. This, my friends, is a show geared for professional truck drivers. So just buckle up, hang on to your seats, let\'s get these wheels a turning. I have with us today -- the Tex talk man himself -- Lone Star CEO, Mr. <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/about-lone-star-heavy-haul-drivers/\">Tex Robbins</a> -- Tex, good to have you here my friend.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex Robbins</strong>\r\nThank You, Howie, look forward to our conversation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nTex, what\'s your take on the outlook for the trucking industry in 2018? And tell us about on into the future.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nWell, Howie, I think that overall I think we\'re in some unchartered waters. I think that you know our economy is growing, and that\'s giving us opportunities that we probably haven\'t had or been able to experience in the previous years. So -- I think the future\'s bright in our industry. We have some challenges ahead of us obviously -- no different than other industries as well. Labor is going to be a challenge for us. I think that\'s what makes Lone Star somewhat unique, that we have opportunities that will attract people to our -- our business.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nNow there continues to be a truck driver shortage in the over-the-road part of the industry as more and more baby boomers retire and leave the industry. What can carriers do to attract younger generations into choosing professional truck driving as a career?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nWell, that\'s a good question, Howie. I think that all of us are being challenged to look at who we are and what we do. I think one of the things that we at Lone Star are doing is looking at our environment and trying to challenge ourselves in our environment. What will attract the Millennials into our type of business and our type of work culture? Things that are important to us obviously are our people and our team. Without those drivers none of what we do works. So -- it\'s a focus that we\'re looking at trying to create those drivers that want to come and be a part of who we are, what we do, and at the same time give them a challenge.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you look at what\'s going on -- the baby boomers, you know, they rose to a challenge. And I think Millennials in this particular environment also want those type of challenges. I think what Lone Star brings to the table is <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-driver-jobs-what-we-haul/\">the opportunity of a higher challenge</a> with the type of cargo and the type of things that we handle, that our customers throw at us. We create those opportunities that bring those challenges to the new workforce.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nNow not a lot of people know this -- but you were a truck driver in an earlier part of your life. Could you take some time to share with our audience here how you got started as a truck driver -- and how did it ultimately lead you into becoming the CEO of Lone Star?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nMy family -- my dad -- was in the transportation business, and I just grew up around trucks. And we were in the oilfield industry, you know, connected with a lot of different aspects of the business and storage pipe and handling pipe and moving drilling rigs. That business cycled in and out. We graduated into other areas of business that were to kind of help balance our business portfolio. He got out of his business, and we migrated and worked for another company. Being exposed to a few other companies allowed me to be placed into the industry.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In 1994, Lone Star called on me, and I transitioned from where I was at to Lone Star Transportation, with the opportunity to be involved more -- and little did I know where that was going to go. Ultimately moved up through Lone Star from a manager of an operation on up to the vice president of operations. And then in 2004, I ended up purchasing the company from the former owners, and you know - here we are today.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nAs a past professional truck driver, do you believe this has helped you connect better with your drivers? I guess what I’m saying, do you feel like you have a better understanding of their needs such as pay, getting them home to spend time with their families and other needs that are just part of the lifestyle of being a truck driver?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nI think anytime that you can relate to the scope of your employees -- what you’re asking of them and what they have to experience -- you can relate to those experiences. I think that all helps you better connect with those people. You talk their lingo – you can walk the walk with them -- you get it. And you understand what’s important to them, and they understand what’s important to you. So, you know obviously <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/\">it comes down to pay</a>. And that’s obviously an important thing, and that’s something that has challenged our industry for a long time. And I think as we talked earlier we\'re in unchartered waters. We’re taking steps necessary to ensure that our team members are compensated for what they’re being asked to do.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nIs it fair to say that your drivers come first at Lone Star?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nDrivers do come first. It starts with how we attract them, it starts with when they first get here, how they’re treated, how they’re viewed, through the first impression of somebody joining our team -- we want that to be <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-driver-jobs-reasons-to-drive-for-lone-star/\">the best experience that they can have</a> -- and that’s what we focus on now.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nNow here’s one that really hits home. We all know that truck drivers are no different than any of the rest of us. They have bills that come due throughout the month that need to be paid on time, however -- you know that paychecks can sometimes vary from week to week. At Lone Star you’ve really addressed this head-on by implementing a guaranteed pay program for your company drivers – explain how the program works a little.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nHowie what we’ve done is obviously with our business. It’s cyclical. It goes up and down and obviously the market, the industry, has a scenario where the norm is a cents per mile pay. And we understand that, and we do that as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But -- what we tried to do is we put in what we call a guaranteed minimum, which allows that driver to know exactly what his least amount of home pay is going to be. So if you kind of equate it to a 40-hour work week based on an hourly wage, this is how we’ve kind of looked at this. So this driver coming into our company, he knows that if I’m here to work and available to work, this is the minimum I’m going to make. He has an upside to that because along with that he will make more than that if he’s willing to work and he’s willing to engage in the opportunities that we provide to him.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nLone Star is always looking for qualified flatbed and OD drivers. But you also offer a paid training program for company drivers with less experience. Now, these are drivers that may have been hauling dry van or refrigerated goods that now want to move up in their career and begin hauling loads that require a higher skill set that also pays more. Now, this sounds like a great opportunity -- why don’t you tell us about it?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nWell, you know in reference that, Howie, what we do is we have a <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-truck-drivers-terminology/\">paid training</a>. Typically a lot of these guys they have the over the road experience that you need – they can handle and manage the equipment, the truck. The driver knows all the ins and outs of that – they’re just <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/top-reasons-to-become-otr-flatbed-truck-drivers/\">looking for a little different challenge</a> in life. They’ve got tired of for all practical purposes – they’ve been in a box – so they want to expand outside of that box a little bit. I think that’s just human nature.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You know, we want to challenge ourselves. So that’s what these guys are looking for. So we provide and created an opportunity where we can take that driver and give him load securement training and at the same time with our level progression, have the opportunity through that to work their way up to a different challenge into each level.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Along with that comes a different pay scale that goes with that. So, they are encouraged, and we encourage them, to be able to get to those higher levels as quick as they can. But again, it all comes down to the person and that person’s ability to be able to manage and handle their work duties. And if they do that well -- they can get to a level five.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To give you an idea, most of our level five drivers today all started from a level one or level two category and have been moved up in a progression to that. So it works. It’s done. We see it done every single day, every week, every month -- it happens. And we look forward to that and encourage that. So we feel our system allows and provides that opportunity for those to be able to take advantage of that.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nAll right Tex, now give me several reasons why a truck driver would <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-driver-jobs-for-company-drivers/\">want to drive for Lone Star</a>?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nA quality environment -- as well as quality equipment -- and quality pay. You can say what you want to -- but people look for a quality environment. And I never ask anybody at Lone Star Transportation to do anything I wouldn’t do or haven’t done. And so that’s how we try to treat our drivers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nThat’s all the time we have for today. Tex I want to say thank you for being here and sounds like great things are happening at Lone Star.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nThank you, Howie, appreciate it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nYou too, my friend. And all professional truck drivers looking for a great home, why don’t you give us a call here at Lone Star Transportation – 866.750.8520, again, that’s 866.750.8520.

They’re heavy and oversized. Furthermore, they\'re expensive and easily damaged. They also require extra tracking and security. Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines thinly stocked with maintenance parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Airlines ground unrepaired planes. In the end, canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Our service has won many awards from major aerospace suppliers and airlines.\r\n\r\nWant to help keep planes in the air?

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you need up to 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.\r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, Lone Star has that team.

It\'s entitled Tex talk -- and no it\'s not a show about the Housewives of Texas or Texas politics, thank goodness. This, my friends, is a show geared for professional truck drivers. So just buckle up, hang on to your seats, let\'s get these wheels a turning. I have with us today -- the Tex talk man himself -- Lone Star CEO, Mr. <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/about-lone-star-heavy-haul-drivers/\">Tex Robbins</a> -- Tex, good to have you here my friend.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex Robbins</strong>\r\nThank You, Howie, look forward to our conversation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nTex, what\'s your take on the outlook for the trucking industry in 2018? And tell us about on into the future.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nWell, Howie, I think that overall I think we\'re in some unchartered waters. I think that you know our economy is growing, and that\'s giving us opportunities that we probably haven\'t had or been able to experience in the previous years. So -- I think the future\'s bright in our industry. We have some challenges ahead of us obviously -- no different than other industries as well. Labor is going to be a challenge for us. I think that\'s what makes Lone Star somewhat unique, that we have opportunities that will attract people to our -- our business.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nNow there continues to be a truck driver shortage in the over-the-road part of the industry as more and more baby boomers retire and leave the industry. What can carriers do to attract younger generations into choosing professional truck driving as a career?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nWell, that\'s a good question, Howie. I think that all of us are being challenged to look at who we are and what we do. I think one of the things that we at Lone Star are doing is looking at our environment and trying to challenge ourselves in our environment. What will attract the Millennials into our type of business and our type of work culture? Things that are important to us obviously are our people and our team. Without those drivers none of what we do works. So -- it\'s a focus that we\'re looking at trying to create those drivers that want to come and be a part of who we are, what we do, and at the same time give them a challenge.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you look at what\'s going on -- the baby boomers, you know, they rose to a challenge. And I think Millennials in this particular environment also want those type of challenges. I think what Lone Star brings to the table is <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-driver-jobs-what-we-haul/\">the opportunity of a higher challenge</a> with the type of cargo and the type of things that we handle, that our customers throw at us. We create those opportunities that bring those challenges to the new workforce.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nNow not a lot of people know this -- but you were a truck driver in an earlier part of your life. Could you take some time to share with our audience here how you got started as a truck driver -- and how did it ultimately lead you into becoming the CEO of Lone Star?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nMy family -- my dad -- was in the transportation business, and I just grew up around trucks. And we were in the oilfield industry, you know, connected with a lot of different aspects of the business and storage pipe and handling pipe and moving drilling rigs. That business cycled in and out. We graduated into other areas of business that were to kind of help balance our business portfolio. He got out of his business, and we migrated and worked for another company. Being exposed to a few other companies allowed me to be placed into the industry.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In 1994, Lone Star called on me, and I transitioned from where I was at to Lone Star Transportation, with the opportunity to be involved more -- and little did I know where that was going to go. Ultimately moved up through Lone Star from a manager of an operation on up to the vice president of operations. And then in 2004, I ended up purchasing the company from the former owners, and you know - here we are today.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nAs a past professional truck driver, do you believe this has helped you connect better with your drivers? I guess what I’m saying, do you feel like you have a better understanding of their needs such as pay, getting them home to spend time with their families and other needs that are just part of the lifestyle of being a truck driver?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nI think anytime that you can relate to the scope of your employees -- what you’re asking of them and what they have to experience -- you can relate to those experiences. I think that all helps you better connect with those people. You talk their lingo – you can walk the walk with them -- you get it. And you understand what’s important to them, and they understand what’s important to you. So, you know obviously <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/\">it comes down to pay</a>. And that’s obviously an important thing, and that’s something that has challenged our industry for a long time. And I think as we talked earlier we\'re in unchartered waters. We’re taking steps necessary to ensure that our team members are compensated for what they’re being asked to do.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nIs it fair to say that your drivers come first at Lone Star?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nDrivers do come first. It starts with how we attract them, it starts with when they first get here, how they’re treated, how they’re viewed, through the first impression of somebody joining our team -- we want that to be <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-driver-jobs-reasons-to-drive-for-lone-star/\">the best experience that they can have</a> -- and that’s what we focus on now.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nNow here’s one that really hits home. We all know that truck drivers are no different than any of the rest of us. They have bills that come due throughout the month that need to be paid on time, however -- you know that paychecks can sometimes vary from week to week. At Lone Star you’ve really addressed this head-on by implementing a guaranteed pay program for your company drivers – explain how the program works a little.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nHowie what we’ve done is obviously with our business. It’s cyclical. It goes up and down and obviously the market, the industry, has a scenario where the norm is a cents per mile pay. And we understand that, and we do that as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But -- what we tried to do is we put in what we call a guaranteed minimum, which allows that driver to know exactly what his least amount of home pay is going to be. So if you kind of equate it to a 40-hour work week based on an hourly wage, this is how we’ve kind of looked at this. So this driver coming into our company, he knows that if I’m here to work and available to work, this is the minimum I’m going to make. He has an upside to that because along with that he will make more than that if he’s willing to work and he’s willing to engage in the opportunities that we provide to him.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nLone Star is always looking for qualified flatbed and OD drivers. But you also offer a paid training program for company drivers with less experience. Now, these are drivers that may have been hauling dry van or refrigerated goods that now want to move up in their career and begin hauling loads that require a higher skill set that also pays more. Now, this sounds like a great opportunity -- why don’t you tell us about it?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nWell, you know in reference that, Howie, what we do is we have a <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-truck-drivers-terminology/\">paid training</a>. Typically a lot of these guys they have the over the road experience that you need – they can handle and manage the equipment, the truck. The driver knows all the ins and outs of that – they’re just <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/top-reasons-to-become-otr-flatbed-truck-drivers/\">looking for a little different challenge</a> in life. They’ve got tired of for all practical purposes – they’ve been in a box – so they want to expand outside of that box a little bit. I think that’s just human nature.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You know, we want to challenge ourselves. So that’s what these guys are looking for. So we provide and created an opportunity where we can take that driver and give him load securement training and at the same time with our level progression, have the opportunity through that to work their way up to a different challenge into each level.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Along with that comes a different pay scale that goes with that. So, they are encouraged, and we encourage them, to be able to get to those higher levels as quick as they can. But again, it all comes down to the person and that person’s ability to be able to manage and handle their work duties. And if they do that well -- they can get to a level five.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To give you an idea, most of our level five drivers today all started from a level one or level two category and have been moved up in a progression to that. So it works. It’s done. We see it done every single day, every week, every month -- it happens. And we look forward to that and encourage that. So we feel our system allows and provides that opportunity for those to be able to take advantage of that.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nAll right Tex, now give me several reasons why a truck driver would <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/flatbed-driver-jobs-for-company-drivers/\">want to drive for Lone Star</a>?</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nA quality environment -- as well as quality equipment -- and quality pay. You can say what you want to -- but people look for a quality environment. And I never ask anybody at Lone Star Transportation to do anything I wouldn’t do or haven’t done. And so that’s how we try to treat our drivers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nThat’s all the time we have for today. Tex I want to say thank you for being here and sounds like great things are happening at Lone Star.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tex:</strong>\r\nThank you, Howie, appreciate it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Howie:</strong>\r\nYou too, my friend.

A flatbed trailer can transport any bulky item its bed will hold. It\'s especially suited to carry wrapped stacks of construction materials, oddly shaped parts or heavy equipment. Flatbeds are best for weather-resistant cargo that won\'t be damaged by extreme conditions.\r\n\r\nThe flatbed trailer\'s chief advantage is quick and easy loading. Cargo comes on from the back at a dock, from the side by forklift or from overhead by crane or helicopter. For that reason, flatbed trailers are perfect for pickups and deliveries at off-road or unconventional locations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4259\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/standard-flatbed.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed training\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

Obviously, freight must remain on the open bed and off the roadway. It also should stay put, so the trailer always is balanced and stable.\r\n<h3><strong>Flatbed Training</strong></h3>\r\nThe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issues detailed regulations on how to keep cargo safely in place. Many states and municipalities have requirements as well.\r\n\r\nConsequently, flatbed training focuses on securement. Drivers learn to prevent freight from tumbling off the deck or piercing the cab during a quick stop. Equally important, they practice fastening down cargo of all shapes and sizes.\r\n\r\nNew drivers learn to avoid other hazards unique to flatbed driving as well. For instance, securement often involves the concentration of great weight or pressure in a small area. Hence, loosening winches or binders requires caution. Released too quickly or in the wrong order, straps and chains whip with dangerous force. Suddenly released, the load comes tumbling off the truck, endangering the driver and any bystanders.\r\n<h3><strong>Securement Devices</strong></h3>\r\nTo contain a load, some flatbeds have “drop sides,” hinged to fold down for loading. A “stake truck” uses steel uprights, often removable, for the same purpose. As an alternative, a carrier can install a “side kit.\" (Scroll down for a detailed description.)\r\n\r\nMost flatbed training concentrates on means of securing freight to open beds with nylon straps or steel chain.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Flat webbing straps are more user-friendly and less likely to damage freight. They\'re available in longer lengths for taller loads.</li>\r\n 	<li>Chains are stronger. While nylon has a 5,000-pound working load limit, chains handle up to 12,000 pounds. They\'re more suitable than straps for heavy steel products. Chains also are less susceptible to abrasion on sharp corners. (Nylon straps need extra padding there.)</li>\r\n 	<li>A driver attaches straps to one side of the trailer with a metal hook. They connect the other side with a winch, which tightens down the load.</li>\r\n 	<li>Chains loop through a “rub rail” on either side of the trailer. A load binder takes up the slack in the middle of the chain to tighten down the load.</li>\r\n 	<li>Drivers also use rope, bungees or coil racks to secure loads.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>Dunnage</strong></h3>\r\n“Dunnage” fills open spaces between cargo items and prevents shifting. It can create space under or between cargo items, so a forklift blade slides in for easy lifting. Wood, matting, drywall strips and air-filled bags commonly serve as dunnage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/4\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

Tarp securement is a critical part of flatbed training.\r\n\r\nUsually made of heavy vinyl or PVC, tarps are water and tear resistant. Rows of D-rings and grommets run its length. They’re used to accommodate the ratchet straps, bungees, ropes or chains that pull a tarp tight over cargo.\r\n\r\nTarps come in a variety of shapes, weights and sizes to cover specific types of freight. The largest weigh up to 80 pounds when dry - far more when wet or icy.\r\n<h3><strong>Common Tarps</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Lumber tarps</strong> originally were used for specialized lumber hauling. They’ve become all-purpose covers to protect pallets and other bulky cargo. Commonly 24’ wide and anywhere from 26’ to 30’ long, they cover large, high loads. The lumber tarp features a flap that folds down over one end of the load. The flap provides a tighter seal and prevents “parachuting” <em>(when the wind fills and billows a tarp)</em>.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Steel tarps</strong> are smaller than lumber tarps – typically either 12’ or 16’ wide and 24’ long. They are four-sided, without flaps. Steel tarps protect heavy loads with a low profile, such as steel rods, sheet steel and cables. They also provide “top only” protection for loads of crated material.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Smoke tarps</strong>, at 10’ or 12’ by 12’, are much smaller. Also known as nose tarps, they cover the top front of a load, protecting against exhaust, bugs and road debris. They block wind from whistling through long pipes, too. Smoke tarps can cover small portions of cargo on the open bed as well.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coil tarps</strong> also are called bag tarps, because of their shape. They fit like snug caps over steel coils or cable spools, keeping them dry and tightly wound.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Machinery tarps</strong> protect valuable manufacturing or machine equipment from weather and road vibration. They cover the oversized, odd-shaped loads carried on specialty trailers. Many are custom sewn.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/4\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"6.

They protect the driver from cargo that breaks loose during a sudden stop.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A headache rack is a reinforcing panel attached directly to the tractor’s frame, behind the cab or sleeper. If the cargo pushes forward, it knocks the cab off its frame rather than penetrating it.</li>\r\n 	<li>A bulkhead is attached to the trailer itself, on the end of the deck closest to the tractor. It blocks the cargo’s forward motion. Upon impact, the bulkhead bends, forcing cargo up and over the cab as it moves forward.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHeadache racks are standard equipment on many OTR cabs.

After that, they advance by hauling oversized freight. With experience, many OTR flatbed drivers develop the skill and concentration necessary for super heavy hauling.\r\n<h3><strong>Permitted Loads</strong></h3>\r\nWhile flatbed trailers are flexible, the road system is not. For that reason, delivering oversized loads presents many technical, legal and logistical challenges. Lane width, bridge strength, signal height, ramp curvature and traffic patterns are just a few. It takes great care to drive safely in traffic without damaging your surroundings.\r\n\r\nThat’s why it takes <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/sw/permit_report/index.htm\">special permits</a>, too.\r\n\r\nTo travel legally, an oversized load must obtain a permit from every state through which it passes. Many cities and counties require permits, too. All permits are load-specific and valid for a limited number of days.\r\n\r\nOver-dimensional truckers only move large and/or heavy units. In other words, if you can divide an oversized load into smaller legal loads without decreasing its value, your shipment will not receive a permit.\r\n\r\nPermitted loads are subject to federal, state and local safety restrictions. They might include any or all of the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In most jurisdictions, permitted loads may move only during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, and not on holidays.</li>\r\n 	<li>The driver often must follow pre-approved travel routes.</li>\r\n 	<li>The load may require paid police escorts along designated stretches.</li>\r\n 	<li>The hauler may need to arrange the movement of overhanging signals or wires en route.</li>\r\n 	<li>The load may have to be marked by red safety flags, banners and amber lights.</li>\r\n 	<li>Loads wider than 11’6” and/or taller than 13’6” typically require pilot/pole/escort cars from origin to destination.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>Super Loads</strong></h3>\r\nExtremely wide, tall, long or heavy loads are known as “<a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.” The definition varies from state to state. A loaded truck that is over 16’ wide, 16’ tall, 160’ long and/or 200,000 lbs. qualifies in most. Super loads are subject to extensive permitting processes.\r\n\r\nSpecialized trucking companies like Lone Star often handle over-dimensional cargo.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck.

Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits the gross truck weight of routine permitted loads to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit. (See “Super Loads” below to see when heavy haul trucking jobs call for special permitting instead.)\r\n<h4>Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/sw/permit_report/index.htm\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n\r\n• Steer axle: 12,000 lbs.\r\n• Single axle: 20,000 lbs.\r\n• Drive axle: 34,000 lbs.\r\n• Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each spread axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Together, spread axles carry up to 40,000 lbs.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Ultimate Heavy Haul\r\nTrucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, driving super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.
