    I spend my week delivering to building supply yards. Most of these are dirt... or mud this time of year.

    Anybody have any tips and tricks for keeping straps, clothes, boots, gloves and everything else clean?

    Anither issue I have is muddy, wet forks leaving a mess all over the product (moulding) I have to deliver at the next stop.

    USG is bad about mud on the next stops boxes an holes poked thru next stop boxes, we slid cardboard on next stops boxes so dirt can be dumped off before retarping?

    Not whole lot you can do.
    What ive done is Ive pulled tarp to center of the trailer while its still on the load and have customer unload bundle at a time as I move tarp off of next bundle. That way tarp doesnt come in contact with dirt.
    After all unloaded find area where its dry enough to fold tarps.
    Might invest in some rubber boots in case you have to walk in mud.
    Some floor mats inside the truck to keep floors clean, easier to pull out mats and rinse them real quick.
     
    Pete jockey and Chewy352 Thank this.
