    I haven't tarped in awhile, and it caught up with me this trip. I think I've tarped four out of six loads. But the money...

    I’d much rather do oversized than tarp.

    Depends. An hour of labor for tarps on a legal load. 740 miles, $4,400.

    Or, permits and pulling around back at every scale house.

    And to be honest, I actually enjoy tarping. It's exercise, and I like the way it looks when I'm done. (sometimes)

    Oversized is my ultimate goal though.

    I’ve never minded tarping that much, it’s the untarping and putting everything away that I can’t stand.

    Thank you. Just remember most tarp jobs look good sitting still.
    these guys? I almost miss hauling it hose, but after close to 50 trips over 4 years, I decided to let’s some others have that lane. Well that and Canada said I need 2?3? How many vaccines are we at now? Not worth it. B1462399-5023-4DCB-A9E7-220D8EFE70D6.jpeg AD7731BA-C722-42E3-B2B4-C6A7B3B86103.jpeg
