    I'm 3 months into driving a step deck and the one issue I have is finding a good store in each city/state where I can buy Tarps,Straps, Chains and etc at a reasonable price.

    NO HARBOR FREIGHT

    I would think you could buy enough to cover what you need, n then replace as necessary... shouldn’t need a place to buy in EVERY city/state.....?

    Google for tarp shops.

    Straps around my hood can be bought at any trailer repair/dealer. Winches and binders too.
    They can also be found at truck dealers.

    Never had to pick up chains.

    Home time is a good time for picking up spares. If you live in the city. It's the cheapest place. Straps used to be $11 vs. $35 out on the road.

    You know bout Kaplan Tarps over by Manchester, CT? You can get chain n securement articles from Berubes, I don’t recall it being cheaply priced... securement is priced fair at Atlantic Star Trailers in Cheshire CT, in my opinion; they’re acrosst the street from Bozzutos.
