I don't know how lucrative it is now though, half the trucks you see in the Chicago area and just about every where else has them now.
I do agree with you about Tarp stop, good people to deal with. I've been to the Gary and Ohio shop, never up to Taylor location. I definitely prefer Gary as the location they have in Ohio is a complete cluster, way to small of a lot they have.

I kinda like the video ...but 25k vs 13.5tarpstop .....hmmm
stwik Thanks this. -
Yea that is a big difference; I hadn't realized it was that much. I owned a fastrak from tarpstop; it was certainly not a high end build, but it'd prolly do fine for most folks. -
25k for a conestoga...
I don’t like the straps for the tensioning bit... I will say that. Their rail appears to be solid though and I’d imagine if you’re running off a board and don’t have too many direct customers that will crane and/or have a competent forklift operator having a solid rail is a big benefit... but it’s a 100% upcharge over their competitors...
Oh, and their forward bulkhead and customizable rack looks nice.
But 25k.....
Yeesh -
We give the crew at Verduyn a lot of business. Gotta agree with how great the staff and their product is. I believe we are paying $15k for ours.
stwik Thanks this. -
