Flatbedder Coil Tarp question

I just tent the things....I don't like carrying all of that stuff, There is a limited amount of space/weight to work with here and carrying all of those redundant tarps and stuff chews up space and adds weight.

 

Tri-City Canvas makes and sells coil bags

$150 for the biggie - should fit a 50K #

$100 for the medium - fits 30s

I have three and actually like loading coils now.

Ain't no reason a company driver can't buy his own coil bags is there?

Take 'em with ya when ya quit.

 

OMG yes they save time. One of our drivers saw a guy with coil bags with giant velcro straps. Just slip it over, wrap the velcro straps around the bottom and go, no rubber straps required. I've got a couple I want to get rid of (rubber strap kind) only used maybe 4 times. I have no use for them since all our trailers are conestogas now. Another plus with coil bags is they roll up extremely small so they take up almost no room in a tool box.

 

I like your attitude as it reflects mine,If I want something on my truck and the boss wont pay...I buy it myself.As an ex carpenter of many years I know the right tool for the job makes a huge difference.

 

I'll agree with everyone above......Sumtime u gotta do what u have 2.....If you do sumthin do rite and with pride......personally i hate 2 C pis poor tarp job ...and there is nuthing like the compliments as u roll down the Hwy!!!

 

A guy checking out behind me at a mill had security tell him he was required to tarp his coil before he could leave. Funny thing was it was fully tarped but he did such a nice job wrapping it like a gift that on the security camera it looked like a bare black iron coil. She apologized and the just smiled.
