    I cant help it... MOST of my loads are not tarped. Had a couple that were supposed to be according to Prime. Was able to get out of tarping both cause the shipper/receiver said not to. One I was specifically told NOT to tarp it by the shipper. It was a metal building... It was sitting outside when I got there, going to be put outside when I drop it, and live the rest of its life OUTSIDE.

    Well today brought back nightmares of the reefer kind... Got up this morning, drove to the 90... and sat... and sat.... and sat... from bout 0800 til 1100ish. Got unloaded, sent depart call, left to go to the t/s I stayed at. Got about half way there, another load comes in. It was less than a mile to the t/s. Load picked up in Memphis, I was in Nashville, at 1500. So burned on down to pick up it.... Finally got loaded at 2135. Strapped, tarped in bout n hour. Bolted out of there trying desperately to find a place to park... Got the last spot at the Pilot, thank GOD.

    Did the 37 on this place, not a very good review... Guy could barely operate the fork lift, load had to be shifted multiple times so it was somewhere near close to even (which its still not). Still want to know why I have to tarp this stuff... Its already got rust on it... Whats going to happen between here and Pa? More rust? Just doesnt make no sense. But it is going somewhere I love picking up from so... Well deal with it.
