A flatbed trailer transports 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. 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><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Flatbed Training</strong></span></h3>\r\nThe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issues detailed regulations on how to keep cargo safely in place.\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, during securement a driver often concentrates 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><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Securement Devices</strong></span></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 securing freight to open beds with nylon straps or steel chains.\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 a 4\" nylon strap has a 4,000-lb. working load limit, a 3/8\" chain has a working load limit of 6,600 lbs. 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 stake pocket or \"D\" ring 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</ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Dunnage</strong></span></h3>\r\n“Dunnage” fills open spaces between cargo items and prevents shifting. It also creates space under or between cargo items, so a forklift blade slides in for easy lifting. Wood timbers 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.

They also offer structure and support for uncrated, unpackaged cargo. For instance, flatbeds equipped with sidekits carry granular material like soybeans. They also haul small, loose objects like watermelons - or oddly shaped pieces like scrap metal.\r\n\r\nA <strong>\"Conestoga trailer\"</strong> is a tarp and bow system installed to protect sensitive cargo from the elements. It works much like the large covered wagons that hauled the heaviest of loads with teams of oxen in our nation\'s early days.\r\n\r\nA Conestoga trailer\'s tarp system pushes back to leave the deck open for quick loading. Then, like those old-time covered wagons, the tarp system slides back over and around the cargo. A Conestoga trailer offers the access and versatility of a flatbed with easy, secure protection that standard tarps can\'t match.[/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=\"5.

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 or ropes 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><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Common Tarps</strong></span></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.</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><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Permitted Loads</strong></span></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 with an oversized load.\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 with an oversized load, a carrier 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, your shipment may 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 or civilian escorts along designated stretches.</li>\r\n 	<li>The carrier 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” may require pilot/pole/escort cars from origin to destination.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Super Loads</strong></span></h3>\r\nExtremely wide, tall, long or heavy loads are known as “<a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-trucking-jobs-guide/\">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.

Flatbed trailers are perfect for pickups and deliveries at off-road or unconventional locations.[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"LEGAL LOADS\"][vc_column_text]A \"legal load\" meets all federal size and weight rules, as well as those of the states through which it passes.

It has to stay on the trailer and off the roadway. It also has to remain in place on the bed, distributed over the axles as originally loaded. This keeps the trailer balanced and stable. It prevents dangerous stress on any one tire or section of the bed. In the event of a quick stop, it prevents cargo from pushing into the cab and injuring the driver.\r\n\r\nThe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issues detailed regulations on properly securing cargo. Many municipalities have their own requirements, too.\r\n\r\nTo help retain a load, some flatbeds have “drop sides” that are hinged to fold down for loading. A “stake truck” uses steel uprights, often removable, for the same purpose. Or a “side kit” can be installed. (Scroll down for adetailed description.)\r\n\r\nFlatbed truck drivers most commonly secure 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 are also less susceptible to abrasion on sharp corners. (Nylon straps need extra padding there.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Straps are attached to one side of the trailer with a metal hook. They’re attached to the other side with a winch, which tightens down the load.</li>\r\n 	<li>Chains are looped through a special “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“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, dry wall strips and air-filled bags commonly serve as dunnage.\r\n\r\nSecurementmay involve concentrating weight or pressure in a small area. Removing securement devices requires caution. If done incorrectly, strong forcessuddenly are unleashed, destablizing the load and endangering everyone in the vicinity.[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"SIDEKIT TRAILERS\"][vc_column_text]A standard flatbed trailer can be equipped with a “side kit.” Removable plywood or fiberglass side panels form the trailer\'s sidewalls. They provide structure, support and extra protection for the load.\r\n\r\nWith a side kit, a flatbed truck hauls loose cargo that’s not crated or packaged. That includes granular material, like soybeans - small objects, likewatermelons - or oddly shaped pieces, like scrap metal. A side kit forms a protective barrier, too. It can be built around heavy freight or equipment that’s already loaded on the deck.\r\n\r\nA tarp and bow system may be installed over asidekit to protect cargo from the elements.

Flatbed truck drivers cover them with tarpaulins, or tarps.\r\n\r\nTarps usually are made of a heavy vinyl orPVC for water, weather and tear resistance. 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, sizes and weights to cover specific types of freight. The largestweigh up to 80 pounds when dry, and far more when wet or icy. These are a few of the most common types:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Lumber tarps</strong> originally were intended 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” (when wind fills and billows a tarp).</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 can be secured over the front of a load of pipes to prevent wind from whistling through. Smoke tarps can cover small portions of cargo on the open bed, too.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coil tarps</strong> also are called bag tarps, because they’re sewn in a bag shape. Like a fitted cap, they’re pulled over steel or aluminum coils or cable spools to keep 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 manufactured to custom specifications.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"OVER DIMENSIONAL LOADS\"][vc_column_text]There are more than 14 different types of flatbed and specialty trailers. The weight and dimensions of their loadsrange from \"legal\"to extremely oversized. (See \"Legal Load\" above.)\r\n\r\nFlatbed trailers areflexible. The road system is not. Delivering an over dimensional load presents serious technical, legal and logistical challenges. Lane width, bridge strength, signal height, ramp curvature and traffic patterns are just a few.\r\n\r\nIt takes skill and concentration to deliver an oversized load on time. It takes great care to travel safely in traffic without damaging your surroundings.\r\n\r\nThat’s why it takes specialpermits, too.\r\n\r\nTo travel legally, an oversized load needs a permitin every state through which it travels. 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 trucking is meant for the transport of large and heavy units, not small units combined into an oversizedload. A permit is issued only if a shipment can’t be divided into smaller legal loads in less than 8 hours without decreasing its value.\r\n\r\nPermitted loads are subject to federal, state and local safety restrictions. They mightinclude any or all of the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In most states, permitted loads may be moved only during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, and not on holidays.</li>\r\n 	<li>The driver often is limited to the use of pre-approved travel routes.</li>\r\n 	<li>Paid police escorts may be required along designated stretches.</li>\r\n 	<li>The hauler may need toarrangeto move overhanging signals or wires enroute.</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\nExtremely wide, tall, long or heavy loads are known as “super loads.” The definition varies from state to state. A loaded truck that’s over 16’ wide, 16’ tall, 160’ long and/or 200,000 lbs. qualifies in most. Super loads are subject to special, extensive permitting processes.\r\n\r\nOver dimensional loads often are handled by specialized trucking companies. They have fleets of specialty trailers. Their expert drivers and support staff can handle the complex challenges of a permitted load.[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"Want to work for a leader in the specialized transportation industry?\"][nectar_btn size=\"small\" open_new_tab=\"true\" button_style=\"regular\" button_color_2=\"Accent-Color\" icon_family=\"none\" url=\"#\" text=\"Apply to Drive for Lone Star\" css_animation=\"fadeIn\"][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'Flatbed Truck Drivers\'Terminology', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2823-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-06-28 16:55:18', '2018-06-28 16:55:18', '', 2823, 'http://lonestar-llc.biz/2823-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It has to stay on the trailer and off the roadway. It also has to remain in place on the bed, distributed over the axles as originally loaded. This keeps the trailer balanced and stable. It prevents dangerous stress on any one tire or section of the bed. In the event of a quick stop, it prevents cargo from pushing into the cab and injuring the driver.\r\n\r\nThe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issues detailed regulations on properly securing cargo. Many municipalities have their own requirements, too.\r\n\r\nTo help retain a load, some flatbeds have “drop sides” that are hinged to fold down for loading. A “stake truck” uses steel uprights, often removable, for the same purpose. Or a “side kit” can be installed. (Scroll down for adetailed description.)\r\n\r\nFlatbed truck drivers most commonly secure 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 are also less susceptible to abrasion on sharp corners. (Nylon straps need extra padding there.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Straps are attached to one side of the trailer with a metal hook. They’re attached to the other side with a winch, which tightens down the load.</li>\r\n 	<li>Chains are looped through a special “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“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, dry wall strips and air-filled bags commonly serve as dunnage.\r\n\r\nSecurementmay involve concentrating weight or pressure in a small area. Removing securement devices requires caution. If done incorrectly, strong forcessuddenly are unleashed, destablizing the load and endangering everyone in the vicinity.[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"SIDEKIT TRAILERS\"][vc_column_text]A standard flatbed trailer can be equipped with a “side kit.” Removable plywood or fiberglass side panels form the trailer\'s sidewalls.

That includes granular material, like soybeans - small objects, likewatermelons - or oddly shaped pieces, like scrap metal. A side kit forms a protective barrier, too. It can be built around heavy freight or equipment that’s already loaded on the deck.\r\n\r\nA tarp and bow system may be installed over asidekit to protect cargo from the elements.

Flatbed truck drivers cover them with tarpaulins, or tarps.\r\n\r\nTarps usually are made of a heavy vinyl orPVC for water, weather and tear resistance. 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, sizes and weights to cover specific types of freight. The largestweigh up to 80 pounds when dry, and far more when wet or icy. These are a few of the most common types:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Lumber tarps</strong> originally were intended 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” (when wind fills and billows a tarp).</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 can be secured over the front of a load of pipes to prevent wind from whistling through. Smoke tarps can cover small portions of cargo on the open bed, too.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coil tarps</strong> also are called bag tarps, because they’re sewn in a bag shape. Like a fitted cap, they’re pulled over steel or aluminum coils or cable spools to keep 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 manufactured to custom specifications.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"OVER DIMENSIONAL LOADS\"][vc_column_text]There are more than 14 different types of flatbed and specialty trailers.

Lane width, bridge strength, signal height, ramp curvature and traffic patterns are just a few.\r\n\r\nIt takes skill and concentration to deliver an oversized load on time. It takes great care to travel safely in traffic without damaging your surroundings.\r\n\r\nThat’s why it takes specialpermits, too.\r\n\r\nTo travel legally, an oversized load needs a permitin every state through which it travels. 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 trucking is meant for the transport of large and heavy units, not small units combined into an oversizedload. A permit is issued only if a shipment can’t be divided into smaller legal loads in less than 8 hours without decreasing its value.\r\n\r\nPermitted loads are subject to federal, state and local safety restrictions. They mightinclude any or all of the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In most states, permitted loads may be moved only during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, and not on holidays.</li>\r\n 	<li>The driver often is limited to the use of pre-approved travel routes.</li>\r\n 	<li>Paid police escorts may be required along designated stretches.</li>\r\n 	<li>The hauler may need toarrangeto move overhanging signals or wires enroute.</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\nExtremely wide, tall, long or heavy loads are known as “super loads.” The definition varies from state to state. A loaded truck that’s over 16’ wide, 16’ tall, 160’ long and/or 200,000 lbs. qualifies in most. Super loads are subject to special, extensive permitting processes.\r\n\r\nOver dimensional loads often are handled by specialized trucking companies. They have fleets of specialty trailers. Their expert drivers and support staff can handle the complex challenges of a permitted load.[/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\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=\"h3\" style=\"color-strip-reveal\" color=\"Accent-Color\" text=\"Want to work for a leader in the specialized transportation industry?\"][nectar_btn size=\"small\" open_new_tab=\"true\" button_style=\"regular\" button_color_2=\"Accent-Color\" icon_family=\"none\" url=\"#\" text=\"Apply to Drive for Lone Star\" css_animation=\"fadeIn\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\"][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=\"1/1\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<div class=\"joinfamily\" style=\"font-size: 26px;\"><center>Join Our Family – Fill Out an Application!\r\nOr Call Us Today: 866-750-8520</center></div>\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'Flatbed Truck Drivers\'Terminology', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2823-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-06-28 18:15:59', '2018-06-28 18:15:59', '', 2823, 'http://lonestar-llc.biz/2823-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

We serve the aerospace, building materials, construction &amp; equipment, oil &amp; gas and renewable energy markets. We pull everything from legal loads of wallboard to supersized wind turbines.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Because they’re supported by expert logistics, our drivers haul super loads with confidence. They can trust that all necessary permits are secured. Every foot of the route has been scouted. Someone has figured out where to refuel and park their oversize rigs.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">It takes dedicated people to do this job right. Our drivers and support personnel live, eat and breathe their work.

Drive the Lone Star way.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Our team works together as family.

We serve the aerospace, building materials, construction &amp; equipment, oil &amp; gas and renewable energy markets. We pull everything from legal loads of wallboard to supersized wind turbines.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Because they’re supported by expert logistics, our drivers haul super loads with confidence. They can trust that all necessary permits are secured. Every foot of the route has been scouted. Someone has figured out where to refuel and park their oversize rigs.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">It takes dedicated people to do this job right. Our drivers and support personnel live, eat and breathe their work. They love the chance to tackle a new challenge every day - together.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Are you ready to join the most professional flatbed truck drivers on the road?</span></p>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\r\n 	<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s1\">If you’re a safe, experienced OTR driver, we pay you to train for our flatbed driver jobs.</span></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"li5\"><span class=\"s1\">If you’re an OTR flatbed truck driver, we give you the experience you need to move bigger, higher paying loads.
