How the Account Runs Drivers haul smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets on outbound loads. Most freight is live loaded and live unloaded. Approximately 75% of loads require tarping, and the account uses lightweight six-foot drop tarps rather than larger traditional flatbed tarps.
