    What sucks about this is. While Im taking 30-45 minutes to tarp a load of steel. You roll in chain snap your curtain shut and back on the road in 20 mins. All I can say is. I wish I had one. The company I drive for brought in two trailers in to test, the drivers they issued them too cried and complained about them. So guess what. Here are your lumber tarps and steel tarps have a good day.

    Never fails, give them to the biggest cry babies in the company. Heard of a company giving two of they're drivers new conestogas. Took them out on they're maiden voyages, and managed to follow each other right under a low bridge. I know a new QuickDraw is about $15,000 installed so to have 2 drivers destroy $30k worth of equipment on the first trip would be a bit discouraging.

    It appears American Trucker was also banned in the last 12 hours. I don't know if it is related.

    Please don't berate me too much but....I like to tarp. I love to see a tarp well done and I appreciate it in others. Always makes me smile because I know that driver put the effort in.
