    get the tarp repair kit in Louisville, its a can of glue and some tarp material, pick up felt while you are there , don't pay someone to patch a tarp. plenty of guys around there to show you how.

    and what kind of truck do you have, how fast do you drive? what engine , trans and rears?

    I'd be a little skeptical on that price difference. Anything over $100 and I'm calling BS on somebody end. Region has a lot to do with it prob. Like getting anything in the NE would prob cost ya. Or the old supply and demand with lack of local competition

    I did notice one thing! Most loads here near port allen LA require tarp xD!! Only got my smoke tarp and one blue tarp that can really be used. Why don't These truck stops sell tarp repair? Anyway ITS HOT OUT!!!!

    Because nobody with common sense shops at truck stops. Go to Wal-Mart and buy a big 3 inch wide roll of gorilla tape. Voila, instant temporary tarp repair kit.

    Hey guys haven't been on in about 10 days so if this has been covered I apologize but has anyone noticed what to me seems a disaster with payroll? I scanned in a load last Wednesday morning at 755 and just got paid on it today. Then I sent one in yesterday morning at 8 and still not cleared by mercer yet and likewise this mornings delivery.

    New payroll system I've had sane problem with last load. Make sure to use cover sheet.
