Post your flatbed load pictures here

doesnt really matter how you put your bungies on as long as they stay on and tight lol. I had allot of weird shaped loads that caused bungie problems. In your case here what i would have done is come back up on the other side of a spool and hook it to a D ring that way it cant come off, but i've had to go to the trailer cross members/chains/etc lol.

Same way I was taught AT, they told me that they pay us so much to tarp no matter how long it takes (I mostly run local) so the more loads I can tarp "efficiently" in a day, the more money I'm making and not working for free.

 

Best way to tarp a load is to not pull a load that needs tarped. Then you will never get holes in your tarps and you won't have to worry about them being loose LOL

 

You say that a lot...is it difficult to find loads that don't need to be tarped or are you just patient and wait?

 

I dont seem to mind tarping SHC, I liked that load because I used that small tarp and it was nice a quick to throw on there.

 

Im with SHC lol When you have to use 2 lumber tarps, and 1 steel tarp to cover the load... IT SUCKS.

 

On the LS load board, I can find just as many loads NOT needing tarped as the one's that do. I just pull the one's that don't need tarped. The only things I don't mind tarping is steel plate and coils. Both quick and easy. If the load requires full 48' tarps, it's not worth it to me tho we get good tarp pay ($200-$300)

But like i said, i can find loads not needing tarps that pay the same as the one's that do.

 

If I was an o/o at 300$ to tarp I would be tarping every load possible, thats essentially free money, easy money!

 

Logan76, wait untill you spend 4 hours padding and tarping a ld. Not so much easy money then.
Also you rip a tarp and then you have to get it fixed or replaced.
There goes that so called free money

 

4 hrs for $200 is $50/hr. I'll park my truck and tarp five days a week for that money.

Do it right and don't drive fast and they don't rip.
