Owner Operator/Student Driver/ 2nd Load/ 2nd Time Tarping

Oh the dreaded plastic pipe. Keep your straps tight and have enough on the lower sections and you should be fine.

 

I put three over top if it's longer than 10 feet sections, four over 15'

 

2 lumber tarps do every job you need.
24x26 with end flaps. Maybe a 16x16 for partials.

Use strips of old tarp to pad sharp edges.

I always ask the loader to make the front and back square if at all possible.

 

If you're booty calling, I hope you're acquainted with a different sort of tarping.

 

I can't tell from the pictures, do you have those tracks isolated from forward movement? If not, you should.

 

Yes go to a tarp shop and ask for the vinyl cement and some tarp material. It's best to hot patch but on the road the cement works well.

For padding, I took an old tarp and cut it into 4'x 8' pieces folded lengthwise these are usually enough but sometimes I make it 4 layers thick. Like this;
