You would not want to be using a tilt in the hot summers on the continent, one drop or reload with one is bad enough depending on how much of the load you needed to access, then the wooden side boards and stubborn side posts that have seized up and won’t budge.
Like i said flat with ropes and sheets.
Rope and sheet easier than dropping the sides and just lifting the cover either side for the forks.Luckily for me the guvnor didn’t agree with you.
In my case it was either used as a flat for overhead jobs or the tilt for pallet work.
Stripped and rebuilt at the yard as required.We never did overhead v pallet work between jobs in the same day.
Don’t see the problem for distance international work it would generally have been similar only needing to be stripped and rebuilt for craned type jobs and probably days between.
But using a flat was constant sheeting for many jobs including general pallet work.
Pita mate once a week or not.
We eventually progressed to Euroliners…much easier.
They sold the old tilts to a Russian hire co,.we were glad to see the back of them…until they came back on hire with different colour sheet.
How would you know you’ve already admitted you’ve never roped and sheeted???
He has, more proof that he tells porkies.
He’s doing a “mea culpa” over in the Guy 8LXB thread so who knows what’s happening in his head at the moment.
I doubt that any any of us know that…
Thankfully 
I can’t read a CF post without a coffee or my head may explode 
.
Why are you all ruining what was a popular and well viewed and read thread with all this crap about CF and his mental state, Oily must be disappointed as you are all just feeding the beast, just stop it and it will die a death, also you are doing the same on the GUY Big J 8LXB thread. Get back to the thread headings and concentrate your efforts on these please, Buzzer.

It’s many a long year since I’ve been in one of those (2 weeks agency work at A1, Gildersome), The Volvo was a good motor,I enjoyed my 2 weeks with it,unfortunately the same can’t be said about the A1 management at the time.
The idea that I’ve ever said that I never had to rope and sheet a flat would suggest that it’s Ramone who’s got issues in his head.
He’s also obviously never used a tilt for general haulage work, which has most of the same advantages of curtain siders in that regard.
Now awaits that he thinks that roping and sheeting is easier than using a curtain sider.

Exactly where did I say that I never roped and sheeted anything ?.
Your own work?
I know a few drivers who worked there and the Bradford branch
First of all you were on the roping and sheeting thread saying the sheet didn’t secure the load which wasn’t even worth replying to then after another tirade of bs pages long you mentioned you hadn’t done any. As for saying a tilt is much like a curtainsider well that just shows how much you know.
Are you allowed to cross the road on your own?
