    That's kind of the thing though like I went through this before and knew what I was getting myself into but.


    Like literally I did a tarp load last June

    Gave up two tarps then gave up the other two.

    Got four more gave those up

    Got those two and said screw it and it ended up biting me.

    Tends to be the way things work I think.

    But yeah every time I've unrolled new tarps I have to agree, cuz sometimes I open them up and go wtf?

    Although in my defense the brand new ones we get from them are rolled weird, but the refurbed tarps are actually folded the normal way. Cause they actually refurb them for us too. And unfortunately I picked a brand new set

    I hate doing it every time I get a load like that, but these situations are why we almost always tarp shrink wrapped loads. Real pain in the ### when they wrap it before you get there and can’t see any of the sharp edges.

    I think my biggest reservation in that regard would probably be that you can't see where the voids are if you step on top of it. Although I was under strict orders not to tarp this because it would mess up the pipes. Flimsy tin

    One of the easy loads with plenty of time time stop and smell the roses. Just don’t ask what’s in the box because there’s nothing to see here. 002897CA-5EFA-46E1-8B4A-DF31231E2634.jpeg
