    Yeah we are trying to stay in the same area the oldest has autism and the school is helping him with it. He's got the high function one and it affects his behaviour so he doesn't do well with change. He's so smart though the school said he tested well above everyone which puts him as the smartest kid in that school

    I'll call them next week sometime. Oakley paid all the tolls when I ran for them so I never really paid attention to how much they were lol

    On another note, how much tarping do you guys do usually? I've tarped all but one so far but I've been trying to make sure I still knew how to do it and needed some exercise.

    It really just depends. I try to go where the money is, but some days I feel lazier than others. I may go 3 months without throwing a tarp, then next thing you know, I have 3 or 4 loads in 2 weeks that tarp. On average, if I had to guess, I'd say I probably tarp 15-20% of my loads.
     
    Dynames Thanks this.

    Build a dunnage rack and put the tarps on your dunnage. Or cut a piece of ply woud to fit between the frame rails on the trailer and store them there. Screw trying to roll tarps up so perfect they fit in a box.

    I can roll up both my 4 foot drops in less time than it takes to get the bungees off. I've had to use one of my two 8 foot drops twice now and those take a little longer to fold up but not much more. I can show you my tricks if we ever meet up lol
