    It's all about the money. Now I'm not gonna grab an 8 ft tarp when an identical 4 ft tarp load that pays 100 less is available. But in todays market when you can practically name your price ill make the call and run a number by the agent to pass on to his customer. If they say yes well that's why i got your light weight 8 fter.

    Nothing better than a load that's quoted at 8x8x48 8 foot tarps 47,000 pounds turns into that 30 foot load that's 5 foot tall weighs under 20,000 pounds and it's only that 4 foot box that needs tarped.

    Unless it's sitting at home watching you guys do all the work. that's better!

    Why do you all carry so many tarps? I mean, mine suck, they're heavy, but I rarely have to actually pick them up. I just have the 2 8ft and a smoke tarp.

    Like pete said, i don't want to drag out the big tarps for a load that is easily covered with small tarps.

    That's why you let the forklift driver drag them around. Then you have more room for all the other #### you don't need
