    You will get faster it took me a few months but anything with a steel tarp I can do in about 25 minutes and 8ft drop depends if it's something smooth it's easy if it's a machine with no kind of top rolling it out is the hardest part takes a hour or more for oddly shaped items, I have noticed tarp pay here is good I generally get $150 to $300

    The worst is something that takes both 8ft tarps and both 4ft tarps that's generally a couple of hours work

    I said the same thing. You better keep them on the truck. I hate tarping but sometimes it is the only way to get out of an area.

    LOL, I will keep them but I sure want to throw them in the trash. The only semi easy tarp load I've had was my very first load here. The other day I took a "4 ft" tarp load that was more like 8 and a bunch of cable reels. Took me hours and hours. Last favor I do for Stockton.

    Weight depends a lot on how much equipment (junk) you carry. Lots of guys have big trucks with combo trailers and can scale 47000 plus.
    I have a 379 with a big bubba, I can only scale 46500

    Am I just hauling deadweight around? Anyone with a stepdeck ever use your 4' or 2' pipe Stakes?

    What is a pipe stake? I don't see enough loads to justify buying them.

    If you ever get in south Texas you will need them to load pipe.
