    Pros: 1 can take advantage of the very few loads that require one. 2 never have to tarp again

    Cons: a few loads can not fit under the tarp system. And many loads that can, the customer still won't load them cause they just don't understand what a conestoga is.

    Eli has several sitting he would happily rent you to try out

    "Not taking a shower crew" lol!! Hilarious
    Are their any decent hotels around? I'd prefer to just lounge in a room those couple of days to be honest...

    There isn't enough oversize to even consider that, the one I priced was 104 inside width and full 8 foot 2 inches of load height

    So, knowing I'm not a cold weather person, knowing that it's winter time, knowing that I'm the one choosing the load, can someone please explain to me how it is that I'm still ending up north of 80 after September....repeatedly?
