Untarping the night before

You will find out when they open.

 

I don't know flat bed life.

 

I've removed my tarps once like that, took pictures of the load in front of their building to show I tarped it just to cover my ###. glad I did, because they tried to claim I didn't tarp it

 

I tried that once...the falling dew that night was exceptionally heavy making puddles on the I beams lol,only thing that was said was they didn't know why it'd been tarped in the first place lol.
Just got lucky that time

 

Just happened to me in Hereford, TX a couple months ago. Untarped the night before when I got to the site, not knowing there was gonna be 50-60 mph winds that night. They were not too happy when the cooling towers were full of dirt the next morning. After getting my ### chewed and having to take it (gotta keep the customer happy, right ?), they pulled them off my truck and set them outside, not covered, in the same dirt lot....

 

Nope. Keep that tarp on.

The one time I did that, the customer made sure to see that I never took a load there again. Even though the weather was fine.

 

On high value loads, they will want giftwrap pictures on both ends of the journey.

 

Nah, if they requested it tarped they can wait the half hour or so for you to untarp it in morning.

If they are in that big of a hurry, they will help you untarp it.
