    I removed my tarps about a month ago at a receiver, but the parking lot was muddy. I kind of folded them up and strapped them down. Good thing I was headed to the house afterwards.

    If you pee on them, it warms them up, thus making them easier to fold. Unless it's-568 degrees and while you pee you for an ice pick

    I've used washer fluid in a spray bottle on tarps, helps keep them from freezing as much if I need to fold tarps up in bad conditions.

    I was over weight do to my lumber being soaked with rain. (non tarped load) When I left i was 78500, and the next day after it rained I was 84900. They let me go with a warning since none of my axles were over weight and since i couldn't do much about the water weight. I had a split axle trailer so i was ok on axle weight.
