    Delivered that horrible load today. 7 holes in my tarps. Biggest is about 4”, most are the size of a quarter.

    What’s disappointing though was 5 holes went through the tri city canvas felt like butter. Oh well.

    I still have oil stains on my trailer from a load I did like that back in 2016 from Denver to Atlanta.

    You're more patient than I would have been.

    A load like should have enough tarp pay to pay for the tarp. Whenever I see a machine load that needs to be tarped, I know it's a greasy production machine and a pile of brackets and bolts and shelves. I avoid them.

    Had one, however that was supposed to be a fiberglass tank. I took it. When I get to the place, it's an oversized greasy CNC machine. And they wanted it tarped. I would have known something was amiss if it had been a tarp load, but it wasn't supposed to be. Nope, I'm out. I will eat the cost of the fuel. A tank of fuel is cheaper than 2 tarps.

    i had a simmialr situation toronto to edmonton. they were tarped CNC machines in town for a trade show. some of them were set up and working. it needs tarp and you cant tarp it here and we have no one to help you.

    i stopped north of toronto to do a load check. one of the machines still had oil in it. it needs to be drained before transport or it will leak all over. and it certainly did. that trailer will never rust now. but what a mess it made of my tarps greasy like an episode of the trailer park boys. It was hotter then hell that day to.
