    Yeah 3 hours to tarp , minimum. Probably 2 hours to load all that crap. Since its lowes, probably slower. 1 hour to strap it down. 1 hour to get tarp off and equipment put away , another 2 hours to get unloaded. Being lowes, probably slower. We already at 9 hours . And thats if it goes smooth. Being lowes probably way slower. Easier ways than that hassle to make 1 k a day IMO. Lol but i despise those lowes and home depot dc loads . Ran enough of those with swift to make me puke in my mouth just thinking about it

    After an incident at one of the “No tarping on property” Places. I adopted a set of rules.

    shipper and receiver must have a safe place off the road to work tarps. Don’t have that, then no tarp.
