[@waylonwolfe627]

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Waylon Wolfe I'm doing good Thanks for watching

[@darrylkennedy2125]

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.☺☺☺☺☺

[@williamfrancis4545]

Great music. Your work ethic is outstanding. Did flat bed for about 22 of my 47 years. Prided myself with my tarp jobs.Then 25 refer. Stay safe.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for Watching

[@brianlloyd4822]

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

[@MB-gz6ne]

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!

[@stuckinohio5111]

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.

[@lawniebrown6341]

Glad you are ok. Thanks for all your videos...

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Lawnie Brown Thanks and Thanks for watching

[@adambrown2533]

I remember those days tarping in the unbearable heat be safe out there

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Adam Brown Thanks for watching

[@mrmurf3864]

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!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+MrMurf Thanks for watching

[@patrickbrink7859]

Wow Dan, are you ok? That was quite a tumble. Hope you didn't take a hit to head! You looked like you were hurting and overheated! Be safe out there comrad! Glad to see you were taking frequent water breaks.

[@billfitzpatrick6910]

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!

[@sipzter]

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

[@ronjessie8194]

I saw pretty much all the way through , including the little tuck-and -roll about half way through. Good to see you get back up right away. :)

[@SteelyPaw]

Dang, I hope you didn't hurt yourself, that was quite a tumble. Nice tarp Job, & I guess you know too the video turned out perfect. Thanks for including us here.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Gord Stone Thanks for watching

[@cadenconnolly]

please be careful. i took a very bad fall a week ago from the lower deck of my single drop. It took me a while to get up and even today the bruises and scrapes hurt. its hard to sleep at night still. be safe brother.

[@garyclarkii9801]

Trust me when I say I know how it feels to fall off a trailer like that but I was about 5 foot higher and landed right on my hip and that hurt like hell my friend!!!! Airborne to ya and keep the good times a rolling brother and always be safe on the road my friend!!!!

[@im4our312]

Where is your hard hat Dan yah goof ball, are you ok. You have people out here counting on you. Kallie should have put the tarp on that load . Be safe .Dave

[@lenscap8925]

First of all - take care of yourself! Water up before you start working out. Going to have to look for a hand held massage unit at Walmart for that fall...not to mention asprin Second- great music! Rockabilly rules!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Lens Cap I have everything you listed. Like my wife says this ain't my first rodeo LOL THANKS FOR WATCHING I try to change up the music. I'm glad you liked it.

[@Chuck59ish]

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

[@michaelmccosley3766]

I hope that spill didn't hurt you too bad. Been there, done that! Happy travels Dan.

[@SFtruckerWolf]

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.

[@jamessalazar8755]

Shook it off like a champ, good army training thanks Dan.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+james salazar Thanks for watching

[@chicagojoe2737]

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

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+joe wisman Thanks for watching

[@timgear9892]

I like the way you strap down a mixed load of pipe and tubing. More straps the better. I would have thought you need a bulkhead, though, to stop any fwd movement of pipe. Thanks for the video, sorry about the fall. Hope no injuries

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Mark Bell Thanks for watching

[@whatheworld]

That was a nice tuck and roll on the fall Dan, came back up like a champ !!!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+whatheworld LOL Thats ARMY training Thanks for watching

[@geneharden9265]

Great job on your videos. I hope that you are all right, because the way you fell to the ground. Your camera was still recording while you were tarping. 👍👍👍👍

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Gene Harden I'm doing good Thanks for watching

[@sziltner]

So glad you didn't get hurt falling. But guessing you felt it the next morning. As always, great video and the best trucking video on KZbin. Tnx for sharing! 👍

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+SZretired Thanks for watching

[@davidanddiana7173]

Super trucker Dan be careful and stay cool like always love the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+David Gil Thanks for watching

[@skeedebug]

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. Best trucker videos are with supertrucker Dan!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Skee Holmes I tripped in the process of getting off the trailer. Thanks for watching

[@jeff3903s]

Dan that looked like a nice tuck and roll, hope you are ok. keep up the great work.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Jeff Smith I think some of my old Army training kicked in. Thanks for watching

[@bobwatson1162]

hope you got a good night rest and something cold to drink.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Bob Watson Yes I did Thanks for watching

[@paul-andreguenette6310]

hope you did not hurt you self, you made a nice job Dan, good vidéo, take care and be safe out there 👌🏼👍🏻

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+paul-andre guenette I haven't forgot about your class !!! Thanks for watching

[@edwindunbar9359]

My worst fall came from coming down the head board and slipped and fell between the frame rails a straddle the drive shaft. Need less to say I walked funny for a couple of days.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Edwin Dunbar That's sounds like it hurt Thanks for watching

[@nwscrew63]

Nice shoulder roll, you must have been Airborne in the Army!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+nwscrew63 LOL Thanks for watching

[@nwscrew63]

Yep, rolled out like a pro, knees and ankles together.

[@unclejoe5541]

Glad you're okay.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Joe Thompson Hurt my pride more than anything Thanks for watching

[@beverlykemmerley8111]

Great vids. Just a suggestion. There are head bands that you put in cool water before putting them on. They really help to beat the heat.

[@short1957]

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

[@skiluc2007]

Great Work! Burning those calories for sure! Smart taking a break. Tarp job looks top notch too!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+ConcretePilot I always look at taping as exercise. And I need the exercise LOL thanks for watching

[@skiluc2007]

Best flatbed videos on KZbin! Keep it up Dan!

[@jmerck62]

I'm thinking about flatbed trucking because or your videos Keep up the great work

[@funnyfarm5555]

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. Your gonna catch heck when Teresa finds out. LOL

[@vannersw1]

Hi From the UK, Just started watching your Videos so have a lot of catching up to do, Great Videos, and Flat bed work is more interesting than van work.

[@kellypenrod8863]

And that ladies and gentlemen is how it's done. good job as I have ever done.

[@indioochoa7966]

Had me scared with the man down on title Hope you are ok, Motrin, water, ice Stay safe out here

[@azcactusflower1]

Hopefully, you're not sore in the next few days!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+azcactusflower1 I'm doing good Thanks for watching

[@jimmyt7514]

Copy, at least, those Tarps aren't cheap and the rest of the accessories. Thanks for your reply Dan, B-safe...

[@pgnd3r]

Damn Dan, be careful man! We don't want your next video to start like..."Alright, I'm filming this video from my hospital bed because my clumsy ass fell getting down off my trailer"...LOL. Glad you're okay. Be safe.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+pgnd3r LOL Thanks for watching

[@jime4507]

There's 2 kind of flatbed drivers,those that have fell off and those that WILL,I been off a few times but off my dropdeck,hope you r ok.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Jim epps I was more embarrassed that I fell off. Thanks for watching

[@Torsee]

You need to start working for shippers that have those tarping machines that assist you. (LsOL) At least they are under a canopy. KZbinr Dooner Livingston filmed one, its impressive.

[@DavidKornrumpfII]

i like loads like that, nice, easy, on down the road , just gotta cover the sharp edges, slives are tarps like butter , i pull flat bed for boyd brothers, 2 and half yrs into it so far

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+David Kornrumpf II Your right it was an Easy load. The heat was kicking my butt more than the load Thanks for watching

[@DavidKornrumpfII]

Yes heat is a killer , i wear a sweat band to help combat the heat, it helps more then you think , allows me to work outside another 40 minutes or more if i pace myself, that usually means getting one full side done and half of the other all bungied up before i need to stop for a break

[@sojutime]

A hat with a brim would be even better.

[@mikemacdowell6718]

Another great video ...stay safe big dan👍

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Mike Macdowell Thanks for watching

[@richorourke7872]

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+BigJim57 Thank you and Thanks for watching

[@briangardiner1015]

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

[@Zmbiekiller-gn3sc]

you ever tarp or untapped on a real windy day like 40 mph winds if not your in for a treat

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+XxzombiekillerxX mlg pro Watch #87 around the end I had to tarp in a rain storm. The wind blew the tarps right off the load

[@08fORSA]

hard work and sweat pays,be safe

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+08fORSA Thanks for watching

[@MotivativeThinking2]

Next that company will be installing a tarping station, making drivers wear a safety harness while on a load or have their own employees tarp loads. With "Absolutely No Drivers on Load", "Absolutely No Drivers on Trailers" signs posted everywhere!😳

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+MotivativeThinking2 That could be a good thing Thanks for watching

[@johnking3907]

hope you okl looks like you rolled good

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+john king Army training LOL Thanks for watching

[@cockroachcolcannon7542]

06:22 .. pretty useful looking breakfall you went into, good truckin', stay safe :)

[@Mike-xi6wk]

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

[@leerhill]

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

[@shaunhuckabee5904]

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!

[@kenbrohere]

Landscape timbers will keep your straps from getting torn up.

Fantastic, amazingly hard work.

[@mikeadrover5173]

Thanks Dan Outstanding! ~M~ NJ

[@anthonypirrello2473]

Great video. Maybe it's been suggested before,but if not,here goes. Why couldn't that heavy dunage you guys carry be made out of fiberglass? Save weight,less heavy lifting required, wouldn't rot,could have holes or attachment points molded in at the manufacturing process,etc.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Anthony Pirrello Good idea

[@anthonypirrello2473]

If you look at all the products made from fiberglass - airplane components,ladders,just to mention 2, I would think that being able to customized the shape of them would be great.

[@jmerck62]

I hope your are okay after that fall

[@SuperTruckerdan]

[@hermanboing8489]

Nice job all around! Question: I like the 4x4 up front over the tarp. Why not roll the tarp up on the 4x4 and then strap the whole thing down? Thnx.!

[@LM-ek2hb]

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 :)

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Lance Michel Thanks for the idea a bout the area I run and don't run

[@brady3562]

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. That being said, keep 'em coming, drive safe and tell the wife hello. I love Callie too...cant forget her Linda

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+L Sankey Thanks for watching

[@TheMopedfaan]

Great videos! But why do you tarp a steel load?

[@bigpapa3348]

I use moving blankets where did you get those big blankets from? I need to find me a couple of those I am also a flatbed driver. PS I'm fixing to come to Mercer I live south of Louisville.

[@bonniehamilton7457]

You did not hurt yourself did you? That look like a terrible fall.

[@Nevertolate1966]

like your vids. coming from the UK, I can't imagine driving through time zones!!! That must be like jet lag! How does your tacho work that out ?

[@samo8204]

Dan, in your opinion, how long does it take for a Thermo-King Tri-Pac A.P.U. to pay for itself?

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Sam O A would 2-3 years depending on the price of fuel. The higher the cost of fuel the faster it will pay for itself

[@jimmyt7514]

You make it look sooo easy, about how much extra$$ for Tarping Dan??

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Jimmy T There isn't a set amount of money for tarping It Varies from load to load.

[@jimmyt7514]

Copy, but for that load? just an idea?

[@SuperTruckerdan]

+Jimmy T $75
