    Has anyone ever been cited for tarp bulge/ballooning?

    For whatever it's worth, my securement/training instructor at Landstar said a driver was cited for being an oversize load without permits and signage, due to the size of the wind filled tarp - apparently it (the tarp) was pretty bad, from the way it was described, as in the driver's vision would have been seriously obstructed - maybe even billowing out past the lane markers.... I don't remember exactly but I just took away the mental note that it does matter.

    Did you take it when Steve was teaching or did you take it with Pete in Dallas?
