    Cable going back north. Thought it would be the height of ridiculousness to have to tarp this load. Then I saw one heading south with four of the same big reels tarped.

    Heck, Kaji is having fun driving the guy's truck around the country, posting pictures of the loads that CHR is making a killing on and he looks cool in the cab when he passes Western Express and Swift. Money? It's highly over-rated.

    Compared to the experience of working for an O/O before buying my own truck, yes it is. He paid me, by the way.

    Usually a short piece(5') of pvc pipe. Hook your hook in the end and shove it through.

    At this place they have a rack full of steel rods they let you use. I don't have a tool specifically for that but I have enough odds and ends to jury rig something if I had to.

    I've had to tarp one of those before, used a bunch of two inchers on the outside to keep it from looking like a baloon going down the road. At least you have something filling the gaps between the spools on that one. Mine didn't.
