How do u explain an elaborate tarp job takes 15 to 20 mins. Also signing paperwork, throwing straps, getting equipment setup, etc. Any dot man could get ya for that if not careful. Atleast throw a good hour in there if ya dont wanna log the whole thingfarmerjohn64 Thanks this.

In would offer to untarp and retarp the load in from of them if there were any doubts.
Not that that would be an accurate representation, but it should be convincing enough.
farmerjohn64 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
Why in the blue F do these companies tarp shingles?! Such a waste of a drivers time. Ok well, shingles are a high theft item, so out of sight, out of mind I guess.
OP always use edge protectors on shingles. If you dont, the strap will cut into the top few layers of the bundle its touching when you tighten them. Same with sheetrock.farmerjohn64 Thanks this. -
How? I decided to take a 2hr break. What I do when off duty is my business. Maybe tarping is how I get my excercise, maybe Im a masochist and I like to tarp for fun. If you're not in violation of the 11/14 clcok on an elog, I don't personally think anyone is gonna have an issue.650cat425 and farmerjohn64 Thank this.

Where do you guys get your rubber mats? I’m going to a steel warehouse in Memphis after I drop my current load and if I have to make a cradle then I can’t do it because I don’t have any mats; I told my dispatcher this and how they didn’t have anything at all for me to grab at the terminal I left; guess I just find it annoying how I don’t have everything I need and am having difficulty getting it
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
On a side note, I just bought a strap winder and I have no idea how to install it or how to use it haha hope there’s instructions in this box
Well hell, no instructions; where’s the best place to install this thing so it’s out the way? -
Every strap winder i have ever seen just hooks onto the rub rail
farmerjohn64 Thanks this. -
I figured it out finally, but I laughingly have the handle on backwards because I need to use my right hand to wind it lmfao at least this will save me at least
10+ minutes because I’m kinda slow
Kyle G. Thanks this.
