Advice needed please

If I’m understanding your issue correctly:
put the back one on n pull it forward til its flush at the bottom of the load; then put the front one on.


You truckin for freeport?

 

Are you working with lumber tarps with flaps, or machine tarps without flaps?

 

Put the back tarp on backwards? So the flap is up underneath the front tarp.


I see FTI trucks hauling trim up north often enough. Tend to only smoke tarp them tho Or one tarp on front.... might be worth you asking about if you really need both?

 

Okay. What i would do, position the rear tarp so the flaps starts a couple inches below the end of the load. Pin the corners, then roll up the excess from the rear flap underneath itself as tight as you can get it, then pin it so that roll is being pulled forward on each side.

Place the front tarp and pin the front corners.

Roll each side as tight as you can, use a few tarp straps to hold the rolls in place, don't pull them too tight so the tarps don't shift.

Put a few tarp straps on each side of the front, back to where the load first starts to drop. Use enough to hold it in place, pull somewhat tight, then tight. You don't want the front tarp, or the front of the rear tarp to be able to shift.

Now every place where the load steps down, hang a tarp strap on the first D ring in front of the step on each side. Go around and pull all these straight down to your rail. If two rows of D rings are available, use 31" straps, bottom ring to rail, back up and through the top ring, then back to rail will really help hold it down.

Now go to the D rings that are in between, hook them and pull down and toward the front of your trailer. Find the best spot by watching how the top of the tarp responds, then pull down hard and hook to your rail.

Finish up the rest of your D rings on the sides then the front and rear.

Hope that helps, it's really not as complicated as it may sound.

 

Do you carry smaller tarps,put a 4ft drop on the back,a 6ft sideways in the middle and the 8ft on the front.
