    Besides if I tarp it they can't see my handy (over) securement.:biggrin_25523:
    The place I loaded I had to sign a paper use 5 straps.
    Had that covered. Built a bulkhead. Belly wrapped front and back and used 7 straps.

    Just to inform you the we at mercer, do our own trucking. Unlike the companies that you might have come from we stick together and do our
    best to help each other, which does not include bashing of our fellow workers. If you are doing good and being successful, well great. those that do not like the system will do what they need to do. We work at a level of standards here, Keep that in mind.

    I didn't see anyone bashing anyone. I did mention that I met my first Mercer driver with a rotten attitude... But I wasn't bashing at all. If I wanted to bash I would posted unit number, name, & the place he calls home.

    Now back to tarping....

    I've tarped 50% off all the loads I've hauled so far...
     
    notarps4me Thanks this.

    I know a few Mercer drivers (and know them very well, not just met in a truckstop)...my Dad was one before he semi retired.

    Mercer has a few turds in the punch bowl just like everywhere else.

    Notarps,
    With enough straps and winches...you could cover the load like it was tarped. :biggrin_25523:
