Tarping

This is how lots and lots of stuff that needs to be tarped is. It sits outside at the shipper and then sits outside at the receiver... Like steel beams that are rusty as can be but they still want it tarped...LOL... Its crazy but part of the job.

 

Lumber Tarp


Go buy a set bro. Tell your employer you supply the tarps so you want the whole tarp charge.

 

What @Ruthless said. Go buy your own lumber tarps so you can keep all the tarp charge

 

I just spent $900 for mine and they aren' the best..... I don't know where you think you can get $250 tarps, but you cant for this line of work.

 

A set of lumber tarps for 250? I have over 300 in this slightly over size steel tarp. 16x32 boxed out made in America with USA vinyl.

 

Had a load of lumber once that I tarped BUT didn't throw enough bungees at it,so 400 miles of rain and slop later when I pull into the customer the first thing that guy did was jam a "moisture meter" into a stack of plastic wrapped and tarped 2 x 4's.........looked at me and said,"You better call your dispatcher because your company just bought a load of lumber"..........That was quite a ### eating I took for that goof

 

We have a few loads that pay way more then most to tarp them. They take two guys half a day to a full day to tarp. The load I’m thinking of requires a 40x 60 tarp and a regular lumber tarp.

Here’s the kicker. It’s wraped in plastic and doesn’t need to be kept dry. It’s just so people can’t see what it is.

Btw your not going to move a 40x60 by hand. It’s about a 700 pound tarp.
