    Lol now we sling insults because someone doesn't accept your excuses of being too heavy, or you being too short. This is flatbedding, I'm assuming you knew what you was getting into.

    @LoudOne I'm not picking a fight, I just don't accept excuses when there was something he could've done to help prevent it

    Again, I'm not blaming the driver. It was a theft yes, but he was in Houston, he could've done more to prevent it

    You were asking for it.
    Even if you place them up top they still would have cut the strap and taken them.
    They would be outside in plain view.
    There is literally no where to put the tarps except up top or on the catwalk or trailer.
    The headache rack is full inside and even if it wasnt you would have alot of trouble fitting tarps in there.

    This is becoming comical.

    I think you need to just let it be. Because how you are coming across is not how i have seen you in other threads....
    Like not be there? Lol

    Yeah I'm done.

    Far as me being a jerk, yeah I kinda am. Been a rough couple of weeks with a death in the family and currently broke down. My propensity for excuses is low right now

    Thats my attitude on thieves. Police do nothing but write a report,.. nothing but paper work for them.

    On different occasions I've had my ramp stand and then a ramp stolen. Have also had my spare tire stolen.

    I'm with you on this. I'll split a skull open with out even blinking an eye when it comes to someone stealing from me. I dont have much but its mine and I worked hard for it.

    load_and_lock.jpg I use a bigger lock but on home time I chain my tarps to my deck then lock it. After seeing the video I'm think I'm gonna try to get in the habit of doing it on a regular basis as I do worry about the nefarious people out there always trying to come up on somebody else's expense.

    Why does a Prime driver need 6 tarps? I carry 3 and a smoke. All fit into side box on truck (which I know you guys don't have). Unless you use 6 on a regular basis, you are wasting fuel toting around extra weight.
