Dan when I was in grade school and middle school I had an assistant principal who was a terrific gentleman. In the late seventies, he had enough of kids a became an owner-operator. One night over by Chicago he had pulled over while it was raining to refasten his tarp and he fell off the truck hitting his head and later that night he passed away. It is good that you recognize that situation and pray you and all the other truckers will always be safe out there!

People may not appreciate a good tarp job unless they have had to tarp a load themselves, I didn't until I started flatbedding, now I find myself looking at other drivers tarp jobs and when I see a really good one I give the driver a big thumbs up! Lol

Glad you're ok after the slippery tarp job on the 3" pipe. Nice to get the gift card from the Petro. We had several gift cards (like 5) from our church parishioners this past Christmas (2019) and back in 2018 as well. It's nice when people want to give you a gift that you can use while you're on the road. Keep the shiny side down and the puffy side up. God bless you in your travels. Pastor Dean (Rev. Dr. J. Dean McNamara), Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL.
