    Holiday weekend work after doing the DOD stuff to Denver. Stacked the step decks onto a coworker. I grabbed this to bring back to Grand Rapids.

    I have a feeling by the end of this it's not going to be so much as a jet ski so much as a jet tugboat.

    I'll have to have someone else be the loudmouth, I'll just be the crash test dummy.


    You would have thought I would have learned my lesson getting slammed into the asphalt and sand and gravel and the occasional road sign. But now I'm ready to get slammed into the water.

    I don't know who makes them, but it's a custom made cover, it's got padding in it, and it has some big vinal loops to grab onto , no D rings.

    It might be Sharps Tarps make them, cause they make most of our stuff, I'll have to see if I can find a tag. They are supplied to us. (They are out of grants pass or)

    Our old ones were super thick canvas.

    I had one made by Tri State Canvas that is just like what you describe. Kind of a pain in the butt to put on, but I haven't bought a $450 windshield since.

    Here's a closer up of the cover itself
    The padding is actually between two layers of vinyl canvas so it's weather proof. If there is a tag on it probably be on the other side i'll take a look when I take it off.

    If anyone here knows Brookville, PA, this is where Route 36 North meets 322 West. Edit to add: If I was doing this load, that turn alone would have kept me up the night before, and maybe even the night before that.

    I passed him on 119 just north of Indiana, but my photography skills were not near as impressive.
