Gorgeous truck. I want a green truck this dark green color.

Those loads out of there are not that bad.. Just a nose tarp which they help you put on the front bundles before it goes on the truck and the 50 ft of rope is more like 20 that attachs to the nose tarp. If you all ready carry a nose tarp with rope on it (which i suggest every flatbedder have) it is a wham bam deal at that place..

 

Why do guys do the nose tarp? I've seen it many times and have never used one on any of my pipe loads

Nose tarps are used for two reasons. The primary reason it to keep the soot and smell of exhaust off of the product being hauled. The second reason is that on a tightly packed/loaded load it keeps the wind from getting inbetween the pieces being shipped and therefore less chance of the wind movement making the load vibrate causing wear. Lots of places don't pay for a nose tarp so they save huge in tarping fees.

 

Got it. Thank you
