    Those guys don't last more than one season....I saw a 'bedder at the Forest products mill in Rapid....dude was about 5'2" and must have weighed over 250 easy.....Kind of looked like a real hefty, nasty Ron Jeremy....Any how....He proceeded to unroll his tarp and low and behold.."The driver before rolled the tarp 'inside up'......."

    He about died trying to flip the tarp "outside up" in the wind.....[​IMG]


    Anyone who has picked up from FP's Rapid knows about that afternoon wind and tarping.....:biggrin_25523:

    Since I've been driving, and it's been flats, drops, and stretches the whole time, I've only tarped one load.:biggrin_25522:

    And that was only cause I picked up some hay for a buddy coming back from Cali one time.
