    Oh I have no problem with a hand tarped load. I just hate guys who hand tarp on rainy days. Because most truck drivers are scared to get wet or don't own a rain suit so the places I load have to put in a "rain schedule". That cuts the number of trucks that get loaded that day in 1/2. Only because most guys are too inconsiderate to throw the rag over it, put on a few straps get out of the way. For some reason they think they have to fully gift wrap it inside even though the place has signs telling them to get out. One mill just passed a new rule where you have 30min to get out after your loaded, with a conestoga I'm out in 10 easy.

    Well hell, me and my potty mouth went and got myself booted off here for a little bit LOL :biggrin_25525: Oh well...

    If ya find any more goodies laying around for that trailer let me know, maybe we can work something out, I will bring cash.

    I just got through with my first Aero Bill!!! :biggrin_2552: $500 for a hand full of parts that wouldn't fill a shoe box. Freaking ridiculous what they get for those parts. 2 wheels, a spare hand crank, 4 new front latches. Left and right side lock actuators and a bag full of nuts, spacers and bolts for the wheels. That was about it for $500.

    How were you attaching the wire ties? Cut up through the tarp and over???

    The front latch had me throwing a hissy fit this morning. It absolutely would not move up or down. I still don't understand what made it quit working, and it sure wasn't making it any easier that the dang drivers side front lock actuator is totally stripped out. Ill get those replaced tomorrow morning since im home for a couple of days.
