For all you new guys out there that haven't dealt with tarps yet. These videos we made should help you some. Trying to move or carry a loosely rolled, or folded up truck tarp is a real pain.

I should show this to the guy that drops at our yard for me to relay. He uses the "kick it into a ball, mash it down as best you can and strap it to the deck" method.
Then he gets mad when I throw his stupid tarps off and use my neatly rolled ones instead. I do it mostly because mine aren't full of holes and his are because he's too lazy to patch them, but not having to try and sort his out right seals the deal. -
Tarps very rarely get holes in them unless like you said the driver is lazy and doesn't tarp properly and doesn't pad his tarps and lets them flop. But then those drivers have probably never had to buy a set of tarps$$$$$$$$

Why is it always windy when you tarp or roll up tarps?

I'd never fold the flap back like that. If you roll it back up against the tarp after the rest is folded and rolled, then when you put it in top of the load, you take the bungee off, adjust for how much flap drop you'll need, and THEN roll the tarp out. If you have tarps with and without flaps, it helps keep which is which straight.
