    No, picked up close to Buffalo NY.

    It's not a real bad load. Problem is the plastic that needs to go on top first, when you unfold your tarp afterwards it easily slides of...

    But you're right. there's lots worse loads compared to this one...

    Mine didn't have the "x", was a Canadian shortnose...

    Kenworth gives a much better ride but with that International with C-15 Cat I never (well, almost never) had to go to the garage...

    I usually do up a couple of bungies on one side and then do all the bungies on the other side. That way the tarp doesn't get pulled over off center.

    I recently started doing that. I used to do one side at a time. Then wondered why my tarp was off center lol

    You probably won't notice the cash at the end of the day, but it can make a big difference at the end of the year.
