    I used to sell Ridg U Rack pallet rack. Buyer would want freight cost; asked on tarp. Yes tarp it. Always wondered how many drivers had it out for me if they knew I could have just doubled the tarp price and saved them. Buyer always unloaded with a fork truck, (Skinned up paint halfway across trailer) and then set on ground outside when a 16' upright would not go thru the dock door.. Half off, some head come out shouting to put some timber under that...
    So scratch it again out of the dirt, crib, scrape letting down. (Painting contractors do well on rack jobs going in cold storage/freezer apps.) Touch up fully..

    Tarp it's a 4 letter word.

    Going flatbed and a Pete too. But then; with millions in "view", it takes money to make money.

    I don’t TARP. You are CORRECT on the 4 letter word.

    Somewhere, down the street and around a corner or two, is a kid. Skipping along behind an old B&S 3 HP 18in cut, looking for work. Find this kid.....

    Could start out with a 16' gooseneck just to get the feel of some lanes and a taste of the rates. Hope he don't meet up with a laying over car hauler and find out what they make......
