    Those are the shortest 6’ drops I’ve ever seen or your 15’ tall. You bungee hooks will beat the hell out of the side of that load going down the road. That’s a claim looking for a place to happen.

    I would have turned the tarps, put a smoke tarp on the nose. Should have a steel tarp for the rear, .wind will beat plastic

    This is the main reason I quit tarping unless it pays exceedingly well.
    The tarps are getting more expensive and those will start to fray at 800 miles no to mention the damage to grommets from the bungees flapping.

    I run 4ft tarps like that sometimes when Im lazy and dont want to deal with the 8fts. If you bungee them correctly, they wont flap or get damaged.

    Im also confused how those are 6ft tarps on what looks like an 8ft ft load.

    Call the reciever and see if they actually need it tarped. If not, roll.
