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

I hang my bungees under the trailer everything else goes in my toolbox's on the trailer.

I would park on top of my tarps before I would bring them in the cab.

 

I always keep my tarps on the deck. If I'm worried about theft I run a chain and binder over them and chain and lock around the binder handle. I put the hooks inside the stake pockets so they can't pull the cotter pin or the clevis pin.

I have a hard time believing someone too lazy to work would get far with these things anyways. They must weigh 120# apiece.

 

You can get a metal bulkhead attached to your trailer if you own the trailer....like this here..


otherwise, just use the lumber whenever you can.

 

Tarps belong inside boxes. And get boxes, boxes and more boxes. U can NEVER have enough storage lol

 

You may be able to find something cheaper if you look around, but I was already on this site when I read your question....this is just an example of a headache rack....

You can hang your chains on there and lock em up...

I'd say go for a headache rack instead of a bulkhead because if you have it attached to your trailer, it kinda limits the kind of loads you get, plus if its a long load, you can only overhang in the back...

 

ordering stuff like boxes and headache racks online is a PITA because they can't FedEx it, you'll be waiting for ever and pay a ton for LTL shipment. I'd check craigslist or try to buy local. ILOCA, Mutual Wheel Co, prolly some other choices around NE Illinois. or see what you can find on the classified section of this forum.
