    Gotta love those tarp required loads that set outside in the weather at the receiver....

    Pulled pipe out of paragon in Tulsa that went to Phoenix regularly for sprinkler system company The guys in the yard would tell me get there the night before untarp pack everything up and leave one strap over the top on each stack and drop the trailer and pick it up at 9am the next morning and they'd have my straps rolled and winch bar setting on the deck waiting for me.

    Buy a couple blue tarps from Walmart, they work good for smoke tarps, on plastic pipe, but a couple super sacks $5/each(used to be)
    Wrap the ends and throw a strap.
