    Wish I had that choice! I don't mind a tarp load as long as it's easy or if its a crappy load job.

    Yep, I did have one load of cable on reels last week that I didn't tarp, otherwise it has been coils and steel, nice easy loads to tarp.

    Some shippers won't load a Conestoga. Every load that I have hauled in the last 2 months could have been inside a Conestoga.

    Thanks for advice all. Made my final stop at last. Picked up my new load, and no balloon this time!

    Use rope instead of bungees.

    Beat me to it. Rope works very well for tough tarp jobs.
    Looks like the thread's a bit old, but sound advice, nonetheless.

    The 3/8 orange and black rope seemed to work the best for me since I could always get the knots that I put in it out of it!!
