Why should I? The frieght doesn't pay anymore if it is to be tarped than it wouldn't be. It is a HUGE risk to haul anything that could be filed on your insurance just because a little hole in your tarps got a little water on something. Brokers get paid extra for tarps that I buy, put on, take off and have to replace, and I get nothing extra out of it. Just ask a few brokers if there is any extra pay for tarping the freight.

real steel haulers have a covered wagon or should have one when they grow up.

I 'll add some fuel to the fire on the over the top securement debate. You have to watch the entire video to get all the info. They did this same demonstration at the truck show this year at Louisville.
As a side note, from some of the comments made in this thread, it appears some people have their way of doing things so set in concrete that they are convinced anything different is wrong.
