My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

One thing that I noticed was the front strap on the drivers side in the photo is hooked underneath the rub rail. I would suggest that you wrap it around the rub rail and hook it on top of the rub rail rather than underneath.

 

I thought you were just using it to hold the tarp. I sometimes put my straps on the outside of my tarp. It sometimes helps to minimize tarp damage. If I plan on using straps on the outside of the tarps I usually at least position them before putting on all the bungies. It makes it easier. A good tarp job is one that keeps the load dry. It appears that your tarp job will keep the load dry.

 

One thing about pulling an open deck trailer is that you need to learn how to improvise. I have had to throw an extra tarp over another tarp that was ripped or had a hole in it. You do what you need to do in order to keep the load dry and secure. I sometimes have a cheap plastic tarp that I can put underneath one of my heavy tarps if it is mandatory that nothing gets wet. It is an inexpensive way to protect the load.

 

Shoot A/T u did a Hell of a job like sumone said before others would've cried n said the heck hats off

 

yo AT, when you went through orientation, what kind of agility test or abilities test or whatever did u have to do. i wld assume the physical is like anyone elses but sometime you have to do agility tests and then they check ur heart rate or whatever. sorry if youve posted this b4. thnx and stay safe.

 

You're doing a fine job. Get yourself some contact cement and find pieces from an old tarp that you can cut up for patches. Put contact cement on the tarp and on the patch then applied works great.
For someone that says you don't do a lot of tarp loads. Third load and 2 to had to be tarped. LOL
you have a great attitude and you are doing a great job. You'll learn to hate the dreaded its pre-tarp. Which means the lazy ### driver left all his garbage so now you get it to repair.
