    I fold them like my 8" lumber tarps. But I have to put one on top of the other in the box like my lumber tarps

    Got rid of all the 8v92 series stuff to a local guy but still got quite a few things for 12v92s. Including a rebuilt engine with less than 50 miles on it. Haven't been able to get myself to part with it. Spent a fortune having it redone just for a guy to run a red light and total the truck not 50 miles into the first trip. Yanked the engine and tranny out and cut the truck up.

    Haven't sent the check yet but finally got a quote on the new septic system this week. 18k. Fudgenuggets. Looks like i might be taking a week off in Ohio and renting a back hoe. No way am i paying almost twenty grand to some dude to dig a hole and drop a concrete box in.

    I'll tell you what...I bought two 6' drop tarps with air bag material on the sides from My Tarp and they have been great so far. This morning when tarpping it was -9 and that was not the wind chill. I used one of those tarps and one from Mercer. The Mercer tarp was like trying to fold a sheet of plastic and the air bag tarp was as easy to fold like it was summer time. I was going to see how these worked out but today I was sold. I will be replacing my 8' lumber tarps with this style.

    Why carry both 6 ft and 8 ft? The difference on the tall loads is very little but on the short loads a 6 fter is a pain.

    I've always carried 4 ft steel and 8 ft lumber tarps.

    New hires get trailers first that's why the list to switch is so long. That's how it was when I was on the waiting list 2 years ago

    Yeah absolutely, usually the local health dept or whatever agency governs it will give you the checklist of requirements, check with them cause sometimes they wanna see it before it's backfilled...or just do it on the DL lol.
