    Ha, tarping an aquarium is like tarping shingles! Keep 'em dry! I'm sure there is someone somewhere that has tarped railroad track.

    Yes. In a late winter snow storm in Wyoming. I severly strained my vocabulary and switched to dry van.

    You might think the concept is funny but Marathon Cheese out of Marathon, WI has had refrigerated curtain sides for years.

    As for tarping loads without a tarping station, have never seen one and doubt I would need or use it if there was one available. If the dispatch tells me it's a tarped load I hook up to one of these -

    I guess I put my foot in my own mouth. I'm picking up a load of crated machinery atthe Port in LaPorte, TX on Friday and they said it needs a top tarp. Weather looks to be in the 90's and sunny all weekend, so we shall see how this goes cuz all I have is my 24x16 with me. Broker said it would work as its only a single piece......if its sitting outside or if they don't tell me to tarp it I will just scoot without one.
