Maverick has some of the rolling tarp trailers. I believe they are called conestogas but they are used by the guys on dedicated lumber accounts
Got my job offer today

Take all your notes/atlas to eval. Everything you learned on the truck/ running the truck is on the test. No time limit so take your time. Read the question and all the answers then eliminate. Eval is on Sunday/Monday and Tuesday/Wednesday

I tarp everytime I lay down in the sleeper. Get paid $30 each time.(Tarping oneself with blanket)lol

Wish the pull-backs were company-wide. Would be much more efficient and less time consuming than tarping (thus more loads being delivered) considering 99% of what we haul in regular flatbed would be serviced just fine by those.
But, I have no experience with them and maybe they suck, so who knows. I'd like to think they didn't, though. -
Any trailer you see that is out of the normal with maverick is on a dedicated account. We haul lumber in Conestoga flatbeds and curtinside flat beds.
a few guys pull covered wagons out of the steel plant by Madison
I pull glass in Conestoga flatbeds and step decks, also Covered double drop trailers. -
Yeah, that top left one is what I was thinking of.
-
the problem with a conastoga is that some loads can not be loaded by a crain or fork truck becouse they can not get all the way to the front or back. i saw a guy the other day that had to back under his load.

I've pulled both regular decks with tarps and those "roll tights", and I'll stick with regular deck every time. Tarping is actually pretty easy (if time consuming at times) once you get the hang of it. -
Tarping and securing is why I chose flatbed. I have hauled dry van and flatbed. I enjoy the physical aspect of flatbedding
