Ok. Let's try again. It sounds like you are saying you have to use a 4 ft tarp in the middle of your 6 ft tarps because you can't cover a full load. If that isn't what you are saying how about you communicate what you actually mean. Or be a pissy lil #### and throw a tantrum. Your choice.

 

That's what I'm saying the load I pulled called for a 6ft tarp once I rolled the tarp out it wasn't enough so I had to use a 4ft tarp cover the rest of the load....so my question is that extra???

 

So it was to tall of a load for a 6 ft tarp? Or the load was longer than your tarp?

 

Taller

 

Well that is a completely different thing. In that case i would be on the phone explaining the load needed 8 ft tarps and paint for a lil more money. That happens every once in a while. Often enough that i wouldn't even carry 6 ft tarps. I carry 4 fters and 8fters. 6 fters are useless in my opinion. To much a pain to use on the small stuff and not big enough to use on the big stuff.

The way you phrased it the first time made it sound like you had to use a 4 fter turned sideways to cover the middle, where your two tarps meet.

If you don't want to buy the bigger tarps you need to be more proactive when taking 6 ft tarp loads. Call and verify dimensions. In many cases they call for 6 ft tarps cause the shipper doesnt care if the bottom foot is left open. In other cars someone didn't measure right. It happens. We make the best of it cause if we don't, tmc or maverick will be happy to haul that product.

 

I have 2 6ft tarps 1 8ft tarp brought that last week and have 1 4ft tarp

 

So you can tarp 1 small tall piece, or a full load up to 6 ft. That will work for most, but I'd get another 8 fter and 2 more 4ft steel tarps and toss the 6 fters. 98% of what i tarp is well under 4 ft. Id hate to have to deal with those 6fters on those loads.

 

O.k.

 

That guy with the new International big house on the Mercer Facebook must really get some good loads. That's a nice ### truck hands down.. By his number he's been there since they opened lol

 

If you're referring to the burgundy/maroon truck, closer examination would reveal it's a WESTERN STAR.
I won't speak for them but, I know they're hard workers.
