    Doesn't always work. Had a load out of Chicago that was like 2 feet short with an end tarp and the center sideways. Said screw that and took my padding tarp and tighten strap on. It and rigged it to work. I know lazy but it was better than another.

    And that extra 5 feet on a 53 means you still need both ends!

    I only spin my center when it'll make difference in the number of tarps I'll need.

    you gotta watch what tarps you get from terminals. The are giving out "middle tarps" that are old end tarps with the flap cut off. So you can't spin them. There are no 4 sides of D rings. I got stuck with one from.a.repower. makes tarping rolled steel a pain

    Truck got hit by a forklift driver today. Accident report and all that fun stuff. I was parked where they told me to park and already unsecured and unloading began. Sitting in cab when it happened. Con admitted fault and agreed to pay.

    Now I'm at Sunnyvale yard for the day, Western Extrusions for a 3 stop load tomorrow.... I can't wait... can you hear the sarcasm!?!? Lol.

    HazMat didn't save me this time! I guess 2 times at Western extrusions in a little over 1 year isn't bad.

    Free shirt and food for driver appreciation week!

    10 miles from shipper they changed my load. Instead of dirty jersey I'm going to California cause apparently this stuff has to be heading to Japan so it's needed. Loves hooker Oklahoma then the rest of the 1000 this weekend.
