loading in winter sucks

[truckermanitoba]

well had to move blades from a rolltite which is part of the van division to my deck.had no driver to deliver them.The planner for van and the deck are all of three feet apart.because of this had to hire a forklift to come to yard to move to my deck as we have no forklift.did not want to pay me so i refused to do it.they paid me to move because it was -35 with wind took me about 2 hours to get the rolltite open do not work well when cold.got the blades onto my deck and strapped down.forgot about my tarp froze so had to put inside at ocean trailer to warm up.will tarp this morning. load cleared under ace so good to go.still have a handfull of paper to give so not saving any trees.they just throw in garbage as have all info onscreen. bad part is can not make any changes once sent if do have to redo.they have to get better organized at office as if not have by time the girls go home at 4.30 you have to sit till morning.or if friday sitting till monday.I owe I owe off to work i go.

I have no problem winter loading. I just hop in the loader and go!! They won't let me load in the summer 'cuz it looks funny.

The only problem is when I'm done my run my load is gone!!! :yikes:

I remember being in Fargo, broken down in nearly 30 below. I had a 95Volvo in about '98 with the Volvo 14 speed, and a load of blades in a dry box going to Bucyrus, Ohio. They would not let me sleep in the truck inside the Flying Hook's garage (because they were burning used endine oil in the space heater furnace- there are toxic fumes-also the insurance rules forbid it). I had to take a room. The next day they could not get a new water pump anywhere so sent me to another garage over on the Westside off I-90 where they could rebuild it. They found that the impeller had come loose on the shaft so they used a carbide bit to drill a hole through the hub and the shaft to pin it with a split rolled pin. As far as I know that repair lasted for the life of that unit. Nicknamed that unit the "GMC Radio Flyer" since it was red and at that time GM was the Volvo partner/dealership entity.
Do everything you need to keep warm, my friend. Keep the North wind to your back until you can say hello to my cousins "who admit to sleeping barefoot in the corn cribs"! Oklahoma is great, not so Texas!
